How to Make a Bacon and Pepper Jack Breakfast Burrito

This bacon and pepper jack breakfast burrito recipe is killer! I made it for my hubby the other day and he said “You should open a restaurant just based on this burrito”. Wow! Ok, well I don’t think I am looking to open a restaurant anytime soon but I am more than happy to take that huge compliment from my husband! The secret to this burrito is the bacon. Truthfully, I don’t buy bacon very often since I’m very health-conscious. However, with the holidays coming up I had purchased some to cook with for Thanksgiving and figured I’d buy an extra pack since I know how much Carl loves bacon. He was so excited, haha. It’s probably the first time in 6 months I’ve bought it for him. The whole apartment smelled like applewood-smoked bacon and since we had pepper jack cheese I decided to use that for the burrito too. There is one healthy ingredient which is the whole wheat tortilla! See, not a total bust!

I hope you love this recipe – it’s one of my best. It’s also very easy to make. Sending love to you all and please let me know in the comments what you think!
