There’s something about mornings when the world feels a little slower, and the smell of breakfast starts to fill the air. These Breakfast Crunchwraps with Eggs capture that exact moment — the satisfying crunch of a tostada shell nestled inside a warm tortilla, the rich scent of bacon mingling with melted cheddar cheese, and the gentle fluffiness of scrambled eggs. It’s not just food; it’s a small, delicious ritual that makes waking up a bit easier.
One Saturday morning, I tried making these crunchwraps while half-distracted by a podcast and a cat weaving between my feet. The first wrap didn’t fold as neatly as I hoped, and I spilled some salsa on the counter — but honestly, that little mess was part of the charm. By the time I took that first bite, with the crunch giving way to soft egg and smoky bacon, I knew I’d found a new favorite way to start the day.
It’s a breakfast that doesn’t feel rushed or complicated. The combination of textures and flavors keeps things interesting, even if you’re just eating it alone or sharing with someone who appreciates a good morning treat. Plus, it’s one of those meals that’s easy enough to tweak if you want to try swapping bacon for sausage or adding a little avocado on the side.
- Every bite offers a delightful contrast between crunchy tostada and soft eggs, making breakfast feel like a little celebration.
- The preparation is straightforward — it doesn’t demand perfect technique or fancy tools, and that’s part of the comfort.
- While it’s rich and filling, it’s not overly heavy, so you can still feel good about your morning choices.
- It’s simple — and that’s kind of the point. No extra fuss, just satisfying flavors wrapped up in a neat package.
If you’re worried about making these for a crowd or prepping ahead, don’t be. They keep well in the fridge for a day or two and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave, so you can enjoy that crunch even on a busy weekday morning.
PrintBreakfast Crunchwraps with Eggs
Start your day with these delicious and satisfying Breakfast Crunchwraps filled with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a crunchy tostada shell, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4
Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 slices bacon
4 small tostada shells
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup salsa
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 20 seconds in the microwave.
To assemble each crunchwrap, lay one flour tortilla flat. Spread 1/4 cup of scrambled eggs in the center.
Top the eggs with 2 slices of cooked bacon, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons salsa, and one small tostada shell.
Fold the edges of the tortilla up and over the filling, pleating as needed to fully enclose the filling and tostada shell, forming a circular wrap.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled crunchwrap seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the crunchwrap and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from skillet and let rest for 1 minute before serving. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
Using just a skillet and a spatula, this recipe fits right into a busy kitchen without needing special gadgets. I usually serve these with a little extra salsa or a side of fresh fruit to balance out the richness. Sometimes, I try adding sautéed peppers or swapping cheddar for pepper jack when I feel like a little extra kick — though I haven’t tested all variations thoroughly, so it’s a bit of an experiment each time. If you want to make it vegetarian, removing bacon and adding some seasoned mushrooms or black beans could work, but it’s definitely not the same crunch experience.
FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time? Absolutely. They’re best fresh but keep well refrigerated for up to two days. Just reheat in a skillet to bring back the crispness.
What if I don’t have tostada shells? You can try using corn tortillas baked until crisp, but the crunch might be a little different.
Can I freeze them? I haven’t tried freezing these, so I can’t say for sure how well they keep, but reheating might affect the crunch.
Is this recipe kid-friendly? Definitely. The flavors are simple and mild, but the crunch is usually a hit with little ones.
