Ingredients

• Large flour tortillas: Soft and flexible perfect for wrapping without tearing Choose fresh tortillas for the best wrap
• Large eggs: Heart of the recipe Pick eggs with bright yellow yolks for best flavor and color
• Milk: Adds fluffiness to scrambled eggs Whole milk gives richer texture
• Shredded cheese: Melty cheese binds everything together Cheddar is classic but try a cheese blend for more flavor
• Bacon: Smoky salty crunch Center cut bacon crisps up nicely
• Butter or oil: Prevents eggs from sticking and adds richness Go for butter if you want extra flavor
• Salt and pepper: Essential for seasoning eggs Use fine salt for even distribution
• Avocado or diced tomatoes: Optional toppers for freshness and color Pick ripe avocados if using

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the Bacon:

Lay bacon strips in a cold skillet then turn heat to medium Watch closely and flip each strip as it cooks to prevent burning Once bacon is golden brown and crispy move it onto paper towels to drain This step develops savory flavor and crunchy texture

Scramble the Eggs:

Break eggs into a mixing bowl Whisk with milk salt and pepper until well blended Heat butter or oil in a non stick skillet over low heat Pour in egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed thirty seconds then gently stir with a spatula Push eggs from the edges to the center and repeat until eggs form soft moist curds Remove from heat early so they do not overcook

Assemble the Wraps:

Place tortillas flat on your work surface and add a generous sprinkle of cheese in the center Spoon equal portions of scrambled eggs and lay crispy bacon over top If you want an extra touch arrange sliced avocado or sprinkle diced tomatoes on the filling

Wrap It Up:

Fold two sides of the tortilla inward over the filling Then start at the bottom and roll upward as tightly as you can The goal is to seal the ingredients in and create a tidy pocket

Toast the Wrap Optional:

For extra crunch and to melt the cheese inside heat a skillet over medium Place wraps seam side down and press gently Toast each side for one to two minutes until golden brown and hot all the way through

Ingredient Substitutions
