Servings: 4 burritos
Ingredients
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 3-4 red, orange, or yellow sweet mini peppers chopped
- 2 green onions chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 5 1/2 Tablespoons sour cream divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 oz. ham diced
- 1/2 cup pepperjack cheese shredded
- 1/2 avocado diced
- 1-2 Tablespoons oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat a medium-size skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add chopped peppers and green onions, season with a little salt, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring every so often, just until they start to soften a bit.3-4 red, orange, or yellow sweet mini peppers, 2 green onions, 1 Tablespoon oil
- Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, combine eggs and 1 1/2 tablespoons of sour cream. Whisk them together with a fork and season with salt and pepper, to taste.4 large eggs, 5 1/2 Tablespoons sour cream, Salt and pepper
- Once the peppers and onions have softened slightly, pour the egg mixture into the same pan. Add the ham and stir everything together, stirring and scrambling the eggs until just set (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.2 oz. ham
- To form the burritos, first stack the tortillas between two barely damp paper towels and microwave on high for 30 seconds so they are warm and pliable.4 medium flour tortillas
- Working with 1 tortilla at a time on a clean surface, spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream down the middle of the tortilla, then top with 1/4 of the scrambled egg, pepper, and ham. Sprinkle 1/4 of the shredded cheese and 1/4 of the diced avocado over the eggs, then fold the tortilla over, tucking the edges in and rolling the tortilla on itself to form a tight burrito. Repeat for each burrito.1/2 cup pepperjack cheese, 1/2 avocado
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, spray with cooking spray or add enough oil to barely coat the bottom of the pan, about 1-2 tablespoons. Place each burrito in the pan, seam down, and cook until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side), turning as needed until evenly browned all around.1-2 Tablespoons oil
Notes
I love getting the breakfast cut ham "steaks" that are right next to the bacon in the grocery store, but if I had leftover ham I would use that. Also, if you don't have a bag of sweet mini peppers, just use half a regular red, yellow or orange bell pepper instead.
