Taco Bell Breakfast Burrito Recipe

Updated on September 3rd, 2025

Sometimes, breakfast is best when it’s quick, filling, and packed with flavor, and that’s exactly what you get with this Taco Bell breakfast burrito copycat. Scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and creamy nacho cheese come together in a warm tortilla to make a simple meal that feels like a treat. The nacho cheese adds a rich and tangy layer that balances the eggs and sausage perfectly, giving each bite just the right mix of flavors. Lightly grilling the burritos in a skillet creates a crispy golden crust that makes them even more enjoyable to eat.

Why this recipe works

• Simple ingredients: With eggs, sausage, tortillas, and nacho cheese, the recipe is easy to put together with items you likely already have at home.
• Creamy and savory balance: The richness of the nacho cheese blends perfectly with the soft scrambled eggs and the seasoned sausage for a well-rounded flavor.
• Quick cooking time: From start to finish, you can have these breakfast burritos ready in less than 30 minutes, making them ideal for busy mornings.
• Crispy finish: Lightly toasting the burritos in a skillet adds a golden crunch that takes them to the next level.
• Customizable: You can easily add extra fillings like potatoes, jalapeños, or more cheese to make them your own.

Serving suggestions

• Classic breakfast plate: Pair the burrito with hash browns or tater tots on the side for a complete breakfast.
• With fresh toppings: Add pico de gallo, avocado slices, or even a little hot sauce to brighten the flavors.
• On-the-go option: Wrap the burritos in foil after grilling and take them with you for a portable breakfast.
• Make-ahead meal: Prepare several burritos in advance, refrigerate, and reheat them in the skillet or microwave when you need a quick bite.
• For brunch gatherings: Serve them cut in halves or thirds on a platter with small bowls of salsa, sour cream, and guacamole so everyone can grab and dip.

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook while breaking up into chunks with a spatula until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add 2 teaspoons of butter to a large non-stick skillet and set it to low heat. Pour in the eggs and let them sit until they begin to set around the edges, about 1-2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, push the eggs from the edges to the center.
3. Let sit again for about 20 seconds, then repeat pushing the eggs to the center every 30 seconds until they are scrambled, a total cooking time of about 5 minutes.
4. Lay out a tortilla shell onto a flat surface. In the center of the tortilla add some of the breakfast sausage, top with some of the scrambled eggs and some warmed nacho cheese. Roll up the burritos by folding the corners towards the center and then grabbing the bottom and rolling up. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
5. To cook them in the pan – melt a little butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the wraps into the skillet seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, turn over and cook until golden brown on the other side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
