Breakfast burritos are one of my favorite breakfasts. You can amp up the eggs with sausage or other savory flavors. Here I use caramelized onions to give a deep rich umami flavor. This recipe is easy to multiply for a crowd.
2 Tbsp butter
1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 flour tortilla
2 slices Provolone (or favorite melty) cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (or other favorite)
sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
palmful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
favorite hot sauce to taste
Sauté the onions in the butter over medium heat for about 5-8 minutes, stirring often. Turn heat to low and continue cooking at least another 10 -15 minutes, to really caramelize the onions. Watch carefully and adjust heat to avoid burning. This is a slow labor of love.
Place the cheese on one half of each tortilla and slather on chimichurri to taste. Divide the onions on each tortilla.
Now season the eggs with a dash of salt and pepper and add all but a tablespoon of the Parmesan. Whisk well and then scramble the eggs in the onion pan just until cooked through - not super dry. Divide the eggs over the cheese evenly and wrap each burrito. Place each on a plate and microwave for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
Top each burrito with sour cream or yogurt, cilantro leaves, hot sauce and remaining Parmesan cheese.
Serve with favorite side, like hash browns or refried beans. Here I served with leftover spaghetti squash, which was fantastic.
Serves 1-2.
