Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Avocado — Choose a ripe avocado that is slightly soft when gently squeezed. To prevent browning, drizzle the sliced avocado with lemon or lime juice.
  • Bacon — For a healthier alternative, you can use turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon substitutes.
  • Salsa — Use your favorite store-bought salsa or make your own by combining diced tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

Tips & Tricks

  • Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
  • Customize your breakfast burrito by adding sautéed bell peppers, onions, or black beans.
  • Serve with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a spicier burrito, add some hot sauce or jalapenos.
  • Make a big batch of these burritos and freeze them individually for quick and easy breakfasts on busy mornings.

Serving advice

Serve the Mexican Sunrise Breakfast Burrito hot and fresh. Cut it in half diagonally to showcase the colorful filling. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with additional salsa on the side.

Presentation advice

Arrange the breakfast burrito on a plate with the cut side facing up to display the vibrant colors of the filling. Drizzle some salsa over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese for an appetizing presentation.
