Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup half and half
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup American cheese
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • Hot sauce for serving

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Tortilla Warmer

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion, garlic, and jalapeño to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant. Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well to combine.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper until well combined. In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a moment before gently stirring. Cook until the eggs are fluffy and just set, then remove from heat.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla, followed by a generous scoop of the beef mixture, scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of both cheeses. Top with diced tomatoes and avocado.
  5. Carefully roll up each tortilla burrito-style, tucking in the sides as you go. Place seam-side down on a plate. If desired, drizzle with hot sauce before serving for an extra kick!

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be fluffy and slightly undercooked since they will continue to cook when assembled.
  • Warm the tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for the eggs to avoid sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  • Don’t skip the hot sauce—it's the finishing touch that elevates the entire dish!
