Avocado Breakfast Burrito.
{This post is sponsored by Old El Paso! I used their Flour Tortillas to make these killer breakfast burritos!}
Hey Everyone! Happy Sunday!
How’s everyone’s weekend going? I’m stopping in real quick here today to share these delicious avocado breakfast burritos. I think it’s no secret that breakfast foods are one of my very favorites.
Example One: Apple Fritters
Example Two: Chia Pudding 3 Ways
Example Three: Spiced Almond Pancakes with Candied Butternut Squash + Maple Butter
Example Four: Apple Butter French Toast Sticks
…and I could go on and on and on. FOR REAL. I love breakfast!
I love making breakfast foods, not only in the morning, but for me…breakfast is awesome any time of day! Typically, I’ll choose sweet over savory, but that all changed when my brother convinced me that I NEEDED to make him a breakfast burrito.
Going to be honest here, before these burritos, I’d never even had a breakfast burrito. I know, I know, what?! So yes, I’m a little late to the breakfast burrito game, but don’t worry, I’m making up for lost burritos with this one… from here on out, I’ll be making them on a weekly basis!
I mean what’s not to love…eggs, peppers, bacon, CHEESE and avocado. Absolutely the best ingredients all wrapped up into a warm and yummy Old El Paso tortilla. Perfect anytime, and my kind of meal! These burritos are great to make a double batch on Sunday and then throw in the freezer for the fastest and most delicious busy week day breakfast. All you have to do is cook them in the microwave for a minute or two or until they’re hot and perfect. If you don’t own a microwave, like me, just thaw the burrito over night in the fridge and place the burrito (still wrapped in foil) in a 350 degree F. oven for 10-15 minutes or until hot.
Also, don’t ask why I don’t have a microwave. I mean, I probably should, but after being without one for over a year now, I just never even think about wanting to use one. Weird, right?
Anyway, the best part about these burritos? These are SO easy to make! I used a mix of fresh veggies I had on had…so sweet corn, a poblano pepper, bell pepper, tons of fresh cilantro and avocado. Totally all the things I love!

I mean what’s not to love…eggs, peppers, bacon, CHEESE and avocado. Absolutely the best ingredients all wrapped up into a warm and yummy Old El Paso tortilla. Perfect anytime, and my kind of meal
Ingredients
- 4-6 slices thick cut bacon chopped
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 sweet onion chopped
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 poblano pepper chopped or sliced
- 1/2 cup yellow corn
- 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
- kosher salt + pepper
- 8 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil + cilantro chopped
- 1 cup leftover french fries or roasted potatoes
- 1 avocado sliced
- 4 Old El Paso Burrito Tortillas warmed
Instructions
-
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Drain the bacon onto a paper towel lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of grease back to the skillet, along with a small drizzle of olive oil, set the skillet back on the stove over medium heat. Add the onions, red pepper, poblano pepper and corn. Cook 5 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Season with salt + pepper and remove from the skillet to a plate.
-
Return the skillet to medium heat and again add a drizzle of oil. Whisk together the eggs and cheese in a bowl. Pour the eggs into the skillet, scrambling until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt + pepper and remove from the heat. Stir in the basil + cilantro.
-
Place one tortilla at a time in the microwave for 30 seconds. Working quickly, layer the scrambled eggs, veggies, bacon, french fries and avocado towards one end of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over the ingredients. Roll up the tortilla (try and roll them tight). Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients. Roll the finished burritos in tin foil to keep them packed tight. To reheat, place the burritos in the oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through. Serve as desired with sour cream, salsa and hot sauce.
Recipe Notes
*To freeze these, wrap tightly in foil and store in freezer bags. To thaw, remove the foil and thaw them in the microwave on power level high for 60-90 seconds. Each microwave differs though. *Try using your favorite mix of veggies. Spinach and zucchini would be great!
Have a great Sunday, see ya all tomorrow! 🙂

Ignoring the cheese (obviously!) there is all of my favourite things in here – I love me a good breakfast burrito. And why have I never throughout of putting avocado in before?!
I’ve been trying to re-create the frankly incredible breakfast burrito at TART in West Hollywood (http://www.rachelphipps.com/2015/06/places-to-eat-in-los-angeles-tart-west.html) for a while, and some elements of this look pretty close, so I’ll be sure to give it a go x
I totally forgot about it for A while too!! Thats so amazing your recreating it!!! I’m sure it looks amazing!!
Hi Tieghan gm from NJ?,
You’re truly gifted your pics and recipes look so delicious!
Just curious,what do you think would happen if I added sweet potato fries instead? I’m not as daring with food,lol….
Ogie
Hey Ogie!!! Oh my gosh, I think sweet potato fries would be DELICIOUS! What a great idea!!! Go for it I say! Let me know if you have any questions at all. Thanks so much! ?
This would be good for any meal.

I love breakfast burritos and these look amazing..the only thing I may add would be a jalapeno or some hot sauce.
Some spice is a great idea!! Hope you get to try them!! Thank you!
I would sooo get up early in the morning for this breakfast burrito. I’m completely obsessed with breakfast/brunch so this is definitely my sort of meal. Now if only I can wrap burritos as perfectly as yours… lol
Oh come on!! You got this!! but thank you so much Andrea!!
These look delicious! We make breakfast burritos a lot and use tator tots for the potatoes, which are perfect since they are so small. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents wth all of us!
Tater tots work great i’m sure!! sounds delish! Thank you Denise!!
Breakfast burritos are my favorite Tieghan! Perfect for on the go! Love that you added the avocado and french fries!

This looks uncredible! I’m obsessed with breakfast food and I prefer something sweet in the morning, but I love having a savory “breakfast” for lunch or dinner! I’ll have to try this one for easy weeknight dinners! 🙂
Yes!! It would be a perfect breakfast for dinner!! Let me know what you think! Thank you!!
Fries in a breakfast burrito ! One thing : GENIUS !
(: Thanks Erica!!
I love breakfast foods for any meal, and this looks amazing. The avocado and herbs give it fresh twist. I’ll have to try this over the weekend. 🙂
Perfect!! I hope you love it Alice, enjoy!!
These looks so good Tieghan! Although like you, I have not really been on the breakfast burrito wagon either. This one though just totally change that! And you’re right, this would be perfect to make ahead of time and just put in the freezer. I’ve always looked for dishes like that for my hubby’s lunches especially on days when I can’t stay in the kitchen and cook all day. ps. Asher did look soooo cute in the video dunking that french toast sticks! Looks like she’s really enjoying that and 2 thumbs up for bigsis! Sorry I forgot to add this in the last comment 😉
My brother totally talked me into them! Yes, i’m excited to freeze them and have the easy perfect snack!!
Oh my gosh! I had to include her!! She was so excited to eat them!! Thanks Sheila!! (:
This is right up my alley, Tieghan! I have to make these this weekend as a treat for myself and James. I bet I’ll earn myself some major points with that kind of breakfast =)
Haha I hope you both love it Morgan! Thanks so much! Let me know how it goes!
Oh my oh my these look sooo good! I could go for one right now!
I hope you love them when you try them!! Thank Jessie!
tieghan these look FABULOUS!!!
just a small tip from texas….you should never nuke a tortilla! best to toast lightly in a cast iron pan (or comal) or better yet, directly over a open flame burner on the stove….give it a try! (:
we are SO going to be eating these sunday!!!
Oh thanks so much Lisa, will definitely try this next time! Hope you love these!!
Yum yum and more yum, pinned and ready to make soon! Thanks for sharing!
Yay!! Hope you love it, thanks Missy!
Hey, was just wondering if you know how many calories are in this, per wrap??
Hi Diana, I am sorry, but I do not provide that information as I am not comfortable calculating it. I do believe you can calculate it online. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks! 🙂
These look delicious! Do you know if the avocados hold up well when they are frozen? I’m making a bunch for some friends and would hate to have brown nasty avocados in them when they are microwaved 🙂 🙂 thank you!
Would it taste okay if garlic was added to this?
Sure! Garlic will be great! Hope you love the burritos!
Will the avocado in the burrito still be tasty after you freeze and rewarm them?
I have not had issues with it, but you can always just leave the avocado out and serve the burritos with mashed avocado. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
Oh wow, I tried this and it was AMAZING!! I was a little skeptical about the corn being in a breakfast burrito, but hey, it works!!! I like Ogie’s idea of sweet potato fries, I think they would work well in this!! Delicious burrito as is though, thanks!!
Thank you Michelle! I am so glad you loved this!
Add the garlic, none listed in ingredients list?
HI! Garlic has been added. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
No garlic in ingredients list and we don’t put the vegetables in the burrito?
You should add the vegetables to the burrito. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
This recipe is nice, I am gonna try it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Sam! xTieghan
