Leftover Chili Breakfast Burritos image

Unless you're serving a big crowd, there always seems to be leftover chili. This is a great recipe to use up the extras! This breakfast burrito is a savory and filling way to start the day. Green onions add a pop of fresh flavor to the burrito. Very yummy! If you don't have any leftover chili, no fear. Buy some pre-made chili in...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2-3 c leftover chili (homemade, any recipe)
2-4 flour tortillas
5-6 eggs
1 1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded (medium or sharp)
sour cream
tomatoes (optional)
green onions, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Scramble up some eggs, mix with a little water or milk to make them fluffy. Or, just scramble them and season with salt and pepper.
  • 2. In a saucepan or microwave, heat your leftover chili.
  • 3. Zap the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them soft.
  • 4. Place a tortilla on a microwave-safe plate. Spoon some chili onto the middle of the tortilla being careful to leave enough tortilla edge to fold up into your burrito. (I would suggest using a slotted spoon. You don't want too much soupiness or it will soak right through the tortilla and make it doughy and fall apart.)
  • 5. Layer some scrambled eggs on top of the chili. Then top with shredded cheese. Dollop with sour cream.
  • 6. Roll up into burrito.
  • 7. Put into microwave for about 30 seconds or long enough to melt the cheese.
