1-First Step: Prepare the Chipotle Aioli Start by whisking together all the aioli ingredients in a small bowl. Combine ½ cup mayonnaise, the juice of ½ lemon, 2 teaspoons chipotle adobo sauce, ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder, ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon salt until smooth. This should yield about ½ cup of sauce, which adds a spicy kick to your bacon egg burrito. Set it aside and let the flavors meld while you move on. For those watching spice levels, taste and adjust the cayenne as needed.

2-Second Step: Cook the Bacon Next, cook your 4 slices of bacon until crispy using your favorite method, like in a skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Once done, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and set it aside to drain on paper towels. This step ensures the bacon stays crunchy in your bacon egg burrito. If you’re adapting for vegetarians, turkey bacon works great here and cooks in a similar time.

3-Third Step: Scramble the Eggs Now, whisk your 6 eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat, then add the eggs and scramble them for 2-3 minutes until just set. Stir frequently to keep them fluffy and avoid overcooking, which could make them rubbery in your bacon egg burrito. Remove from heat while they’re still a bit soft, as they’ll continue to cook a little more.

4-Fourth Step: Warm the Tortillas Take your 4 large burrito-sized flour tortillas and warm each one in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This makes them pliable and easier to fold without cracking. If you’re gluten-free, use certified gluten-free tortillas warmed the same way. This quick step ensures your bacon egg burrito rolls up neatly and holds together well.

5-Fifth Step: Assemble the Burritos Lay out each tortilla and place the scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, and 1 ounce of grated cheese in the center. Drizzle with the prepared chipotle aioli for that extra flavor boost. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly, placing the seam side down. This assembly part takes just a few minutes and lets you customize your bacon egg burrito with any add-ins like veggies.

6-Sixth Step: Heat and Serve Finally, heat the burritos in a pan with a little oil over medium heat, seam side down, for about 3 minutes per side until golden and warm throughout. Serve immediately with extra aioli, salsa, or sour cream on the side. This last step adds a nice crisp to your bacon egg burrito, making it ready for breakfast or a quick lunch.
