Which Mexican breakfast dish is a tortilla wrapped around scrambled eggs, beans, and cheese?

A breakfast burrito is a flour tortilla wrapped around scrambled eggs, beans, and cheese.

Breakfast burritos are especially associated with the Southwestern United States and northern Mexican culinary influences. Typical fillings include scrambled eggs, refried beans, cheese, potatoes, bacon, sausage, chorizo, salsa, or green chile. The tortilla is folded around the filling so the meal can be eaten by hand.

The dish belongs to the wider burrito family, whose defining feature is a filled flour tortilla folded into a compact package. A breakfast burrito is distinguished by egg-centered fillings rather than one single mandatory recipe.

Regional versions vary substantially. Some are small and handheld, while others are large and smothered in chile sauce. Because ingredients differ, the name describes the breakfast format more reliably than a fixed list of fillings.
