Description

Jamie Oliver’s version of the breakfast burrito is a wholesome, protein-packed wrap made with scrambled eggs, smoky bacon, and sautéed veggies, all enclosed in a soft tortilla. Often paired with salsa or avocado, it’s a filling and flavorful option for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale

    • 4 large eggs – whisked, seasoned with salt and pepper

    • 4 flour tortillas – large, soft, and pliable

    • 4 strips of streaky bacon – cooked crispy

    • 1 cup cheddar cheese – grated, use mature for extra flavor

    • 1 red bell pepper – finely chopped

    • 1 small red onion – finely diced

    • 1 handful baby spinach – roughly chopped

    • 1 tbsp olive oil – for sautéing the vegetables

    • Salsa or hot sauce – optional, for serving


Instructions

1. Cook the bacon

Fry bacon in a hot non-stick pan until crispy. Set aside on a paper towel to drain.

2. Sauté the vegetables

In the same pan, heat olive oil and sauté red onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add spinach and cook for 1 minute until wilted.

3. Scramble the eggs

Push veggies to one side of the pan. Pour in the whisked eggs and gently scramble on low heat, mixing them with the vegetables as they cook.

4. Warm the tortillas

Heat each tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.

5. Assemble the burrito

Lay out tortillas. Spoon scrambled egg mixture into the center, top with crumbled bacon and grated cheese.

6. Fold and wrap

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.

7. Serve and enjoy

Cut in half and serve warm with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
