Easy Camping Breakfast Burrito Recipe

If you are looking for a delicious and easy camping breakfast burrito, we have one for you. We think that breakfast is the most important meal at the campsite. (We cook some pretty big breakfast meals when we are camping).

In this blog post, we’ll explore what it takes to create the perfect breakfast burrito that is not only simple to make while you are camping but will also fuel your next outdoor adventure.

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s understand why breakfast burritos are a great choice for campers. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your dietary needs. This makes them the ideal breakfast option for a day of hiking, fishing, or lounging by the campfire.

Ingredients

• Flour Tortilla
• Eggs
• Cheese (we use queso blanco)
• Sausage or Bacon (or both)
• Veggies (if you choose, we don’t…we keep it simple)
• Any possible seasonings

Optional Ingredients

• Veggies (mushrooms, onions, bell peppers)
• Avacado
• Green Chilies

What You Will Need

• Cast Iron Skillet (for cooking over a campfire)
• Griddle (if you don’t want to cook over a campfire)
• Foil
• Spatula
• Cutting Board and Knife (not necessary, but useful)

To make your breakfast burritos, you will want to make sure your campfire has some good coals, or if you choose to use a griddle, go ahead and heat it up. We use a griddle because it’s easier (and we like it).

If you are cooking veggies, you can do this first. We would suggest some onion and bell peppers to give it the perfect mexican inspired touch. When the veggies are finished cooking, set them in a bowl to the side.

Next, cook your bacon or sausage (or both). When the bacon is cooked and you brown the sausage all the way through, set them aside.

Now, you can grab your eggs and whisk them together until they are smooth. Next, you will want to scramble them. We use a cooking spray on our griddle to keep the eggs from sticking as bad.

Tip: Scrambling the eggs for a breakfast burrito is the best option.

Once they are cooked, we take a bowl and mix all the ingredients together. This will include the queso cheese we like adding to our burritos.

After it’s all mixed together, assemble your burritos. We will spray the griddle with cooking spray and brown both sides of the burrito.

Now, it’s time to eat!

Customization

The beauty of camping breakfast burritos is that you can get creative with your ingredients. Here are some customization ideas to try:

1. Vegetarian Option: Skip the meat and load up on grilled mushrooms, spinach, and avocado.
2. Spice it Up: Add some hot sauce or jalapeños for an extra kick.
3. Salsa: Top your burrito with fresh salsa for an added burst of flavor.
