Ingredients & Tools You’ll Need

To make these delicious muffins, you’ll need some basic ingredients. Start with burrito tortillas, which you’ll cut to fit into a jumbo muffin tin. For the filling, grab six eggs, cooked chopped bacon, and chopped ham.

You’ll also need cooked hash browns for that perfect breakfast crunch, along with shredded cheese and fire-roasted green chilies for a little kick. I go heavy on the cheese here because, let’s be honest, more cheese is always better!

How To Make It

Making Breakfast Burrito Muffins is a breeze, and I promise you, it’s all about the prep. Let’s break it down into two simple parts: preparation and cooking.

Preparation

First things first, roll up three tortillas. You’ll want to cut them to fit the muffin cups, so they don’t overflow while baking. A little trick I like is to spread the tortillas out slightly in the muffin tin to create a nice little cup for the filling.

Now, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cooked bacon, ham, hash browns, half a cup of cheese, seasoning, and chilies. This is where the magic happens, and the flavors start to blend together beautifully.

Make sure to mix everything well so you get that perfect bite in every muffin. Once the mixture is ready, you’ll want to pour it evenly over the tortillas in the muffin tin. Top them off with the rest of the cheese, because let’s be real, we want those gooey cheese pulls, right?

Cooking

Now it’s time to cook! Preheat your oven to 350F. Once it’s nice and hot, pop the muffin tin in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Keep an eye on them, and you’ll know they’re done when the egg is cooked through and the tops are golden brown. The smell will be incredible, filling your kitchen with savory goodness. When you take them out, let them cool for a few minutes.

Trust me, they’re going to be super hot, but the wait will be worth it.

As they cool, you might hear a little sizzle from the cheese as it settles. That’s your cue that you’ve nailed it! Once they’ve cooled a bit, they’re ready to be served.

You can slide them right out of the muffin tin, and they’ll hold their shape beautifully.

Serving & Variations

When it comes to serving these Breakfast Burrito Muffins, the sky’s the limit. You can serve them as is or with a side of salsa, avocado, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy touch. If you want to switch things up, try adding different veggies like spinach or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.

A common consensus among home cooks is: these muffins freeze beautifully, so don’t hesitate to make a big batch. Just cool them completely, then pop them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, reheat them in the microwave or oven, and you’ve got a quick breakfast that tastes fresh.
