Southwest Breakfast Burritos Recipe
Southwest breakfast burritos showcase Mexican-inspired breakfast burrito recipe that makes large batches perfect for couples who love eating Mexican food and want convenient morning options. This recipe reflects shared love for Mexican cuisine while the large batch approach ensures multiple meals from single preparation effort. The southwest influence adds regional flair while the breakfast format makes Mexican flavors accessible for morning meals that energize busy days.
This Mexican-inspired breakfast burrito recipe makes a large batch of fixings. My wife and I love eating Mexican, so I came up with this recipe for more variety in our morning meals. We are busy and don’t have time to make elaborate meals in the morning. In the past, we have bought frozen breakfast burritos, but they are not very tasty, and I knew they could be improved.

Lay a tortilla onto your work surface, then spoon some of the egg filling halfway between the bottom edge and the center of tortilla. Flatten filling into a rectangular shape with the back of a spoon. Fold the bottom of tortilla snugly over filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
