Ingredients
- 4 medium flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of cooked bacon (or smoked ham)
- 1/2 cup sautéed spinach or bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
Cook the bacon until crispy, sauté spinach or bell peppers (if using), and scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet. Set aside. -
Assemble the Tortilla:
Lay a tortilla flat and imagine it divided into four quadrants. Add scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, and veggies to separate quadrants. -
Fold the Tortilla:
Cut a single slit from the center to the edge of the tortilla. Fold each section clockwise to create a compact pocket. -
Cook the Pockets:
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded tortilla seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. -
Serve:
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Pair with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite breakfast sides.
Notes
- Swap bacon for plant-based protein or scrambled tofu for a vegetarian version.
- For meal prep, make the pockets ahead of time, store in the fridge, and reheat in an air fryer or skillet.
- Experiment with fillings like hash browns, avocado slices, or feta cheese for variety.
