Recipe Summary

Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Servings: 4 Wraps
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 6 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Tex-Mex seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Step-by-Step Instructions for Smoky Grilled Goodness
- Prep the Grill: Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals for direct heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and generously coat them with Tex-Mex seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the hot grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The key to that smoky flavor is letting the chicken get nice char marks.
- Cook the Bacon: While the chicken rests, cook the bacon in a cast-iron skillet on the grill or on a side burner until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk. Pour them into the hot skillet with the bacon grease. Scramble until just set and fluffy.
- Assemble the Wraps: Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side. Layer each tortilla with chicken, scrambled eggs, bacon, black beans, tomatoes, and cheese. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- Wrap and Grill: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly. Place the wraps seam-side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes to get a crispy, grilled finish. Serve immediately.
Grilling Tips for Perfect Wraps
- Avoiding Dry Chicken: Don’t overcook the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s perfectly juicy. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices.
- Getting Perfect Grill Marks: For that professional look, place the chicken diagonally on the grates and don’t move it for the first 4-5 minutes.
- Controlling Heat Zones: On a charcoal grill, create a two-zone fire (coals on one side) so you can move the chicken to a cooler area if it starts to burn.
- Marinade Timing: If you have time, marinate the chicken in a mix of lime juice, oil, and spices for 30 minutes to an hour for even more flavor.
Delicious Variations to Try
- Spicy Version: Add sliced jalapeños and a dash of hot sauce to the wrap for a fiery kick.
- BBQ Sauce Version: Brush the grilled chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce before slicing for a sweet and tangy twist.
- Healthy Version: Use whole-wheat tortillas, swap bacon for turkey sausage, and add more veggies like bell peppers and spinach.
- Smoky Version: Use smoked paprika in the seasoning and add a few drops of liquid smoke to the eggs for an extra layer of campfire flavor.
- Southwest Version: Add corn, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream for a creamy, fresh contrast.
Storing and Reheating Your Leftovers
Storing: Let any leftover wraps cool completely. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in your RV fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Proper fridge organization and a good fridge planner can help you maximize your fridge capacity for all your road trip meals.
Reheating: To avoid drying them out, reheat the wraps on a preheated gas grill or charcoal grill over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet on your RV stove or in a microwave with a damp paper towel to keep them moist.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long do I grill the chicken for a breakfast burrito?
Grill chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side over medium-high heat (400°F) until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. This ensures they are fully cooked and juicy for your wrap. - Can I use a charcoal grill instead of a gas grill for this recipe?
Absolutely! A charcoal grill adds an even deeper smoky flavor. Just set it up for direct heat and cook the chicken and bacon as directed, watching for flare-ups. - What are some good side dishes for these grilled wraps?
These wraps are a complete meal on their own, but they pair beautifully with a fresh fruit salad, grilled potatoes, or a simple side of refried beans for a hearty breakfast. - How can I make these wraps ahead of time for a camping trip?
You can grill the chicken and bacon and scramble the eggs at home. Store them separately in the camper fridge. When ready to eat, just assemble and grill the wraps to crisp them up, saving time at the campsite.
