Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for fluffy scrambled eggs and sharp cheddar wrapped in soft tortillas, perfect for freezing and reheating on busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, preferably room temperature
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 6–8 whole wheat or flour tortillas, 8-inch size
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Salsa or hot sauce, optional for serving or mixing in

Instructions

  1. Beat the eggs: Crack 8 large eggs into a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy (about 5 minutes).
  2. Cook the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom as it cooks to create soft curds. Cook until eggs are just set but still moist (5-7 minutes).
  3. Add cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar over the eggs. Stir gently to combine and let residual heat melt the cheese (2 minutes).
  4. Warm tortillas: Quickly warm each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds to make them flexible and easier to roll (2 minutes).
  5. Assemble burritos: Spoon about ½ cup of the egg-cheddar mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and then roll tightly from one end to the other, forming a burrito (5 minutes).
  6. Wrap for freezing: Wrap each burrito tightly in parchment paper, then in aluminum foil. Label with date (5 minutes).
  7. Freeze: Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep well for up to 2 months.
  8. Reheat: To eat, unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes if frozen solid. Check to ensure piping hot.

Notes

Cook eggs gently over medium-low heat to avoid rubbery texture. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Wrap burritos tightly to avoid freezer burn and sticking. Reheat in oven for best texture or microwave for convenience.
