Ingredients
Instructions
- Smash and refry cooked beans until smooth.
- While the beans are being prepared, cook bacon until crispy and scramble the eggs.
- Add chopped onions and green hot peppers to the eggs and cook until softened.
- Heat up the homemade tortillas.
- Place the refried beans, cooked bacon, scrambled eggs with vegetables, onto the heated tortilla.
- Roll up the tortilla into a burrito and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, try adding some cheese to the scrambled eggs. If you're short on time, canned refried beans can be used instead of homemade. You can also substitute bacon with turkey bacon or sautéed mushrooms for a healthier option. If you prefer a spicy kick, consider including jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Serving Suggestions
These burritos make an excellent breakfast or brunch option and can be served with fresh salsa or guacamole on the side. Consider pairing them with a refreshing fruit salad or a side of Texas Taco Soup for a complete meal. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese also enhances the flavors beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can warm it in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side to maintain crispness.

To make a vegetarian version of the Jose Supreme Breakfast Burrito, simply omit the bacon and add more vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini. You can also add extra beans or cheese for added protein and flavor.
