Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Cheesy Egg Burritos with Salsa

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
3. While the eggs are cooking, prepare the fresh salsa. In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
5. To assemble the burritos, place a generous portion of the cheesy egg mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to enclose the filling.
6. In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
7. Serve the burritos warm, accompanied by the fresh salsa on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• For creamier eggs, add a splash of milk or cream while whisking the eggs.
• Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and fluffy.
• Feel free to add ingredients like diced bell peppers, cooked sausage, or avocado for added flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
• Add black beans for extra protein and fiber.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Hash browns or breakfast potatoes for a hearty side.
• A light yogurt parfait for a balanced meal.
