Print Recipe

A hearty and indulgent breakfast burrito wrapped in crispy bacon, filled with eggs, cheese, sausage, and black beans, served with a smoky chipotle cream sauce.

Ingredients

  • Thick-cut bacon strips
  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size; can substitute gluten-free tortillas)
  • Large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Crispy breakfast sausage or cooked diced ham (turkey sausage optional)
  • Black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
  • Onion, finely chopped
  • Garlic, minced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or butter for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Partially cook bacon strips on the baking sheet for about 8 minutes until fat renders but bacon is still pliable. Remove and set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Add cooked breakfast sausage or diced ham and black beans. Stir and warm for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add more oil or butter if needed. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble gently until soft and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon scrambled eggs in the center, add sausage-bean mixture, sprinkle shredded cheese, and top with fresh cilantro.
  7. Fold sides over filling and roll tightly. Place burrito seam side down on work surface.
  8. Wrap each burrito with 3-4 partially cooked bacon strips, overlapping slightly to cover completely. Tuck ends under to seal.
  9. Place bacon-wrapped burritos seam side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bacon is crispy and golden brown, checking regularly to avoid burning.
  10. While baking, mix chopped chipotle peppers with sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make chipotle cream. Adjust spice level to taste.
  11. Let burritos cool a few minutes before slicing in half. Drizzle chipotle cream over or serve on the side for dipping.

Notes

Partially cook bacon before wrapping to ensure crispiness without burning. Keep burrito seam side down while baking to prevent unrolling. Rotate baking sheet halfway if bacon cooks unevenly. Warm tortillas briefly if stiff for easier rolling. For reheating, use oven to maintain bacon crispness. Chipotle cream can be made ahead and rested for better flavor.
