Ingredients
- 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup leftover grilled chicken or grilled sausage, diced (see note below)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste

- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Avocado slices
- Hot sauce

Note: If you don’t have leftover grilled protein, quickly grill 1-2 sausages or a chicken breast on your charcoal grill or gas grill over medium heat (375°F) for 5-7 minutes, then dice. The smoky flavor from the grill makes all the difference!
3. Instructions (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Prep Your Protein
If you’re using leftover grilled chicken or sausage, dice it into bite-sized pieces. If you’re grilling fresh, preheat your gas grill or charcoal grill to medium heat and cook your protein until done. The smoky flavor from the grill will infuse your entire breakfast.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat on your RV stove. Add the butter or olive oil. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until they’re softly scrambled and just set. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this directly over your gas grill flame for a few seconds on each side (careful not to burn them), in a dry skillet, or wrapped in foil on your charcoal grill.
Step 5: Assemble the Burritos
Lay a warm tortilla on a clean surface. In the center, add a scoop of scrambled eggs, a handful of diced grilled chicken or sausage, and a sprinkle of cheese. Top with any optional toppings you like.
Step 6: Wrap and Serve
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. If you like, you can wrap it in foil for easy handling. Serve hot and enjoy your smoky, delicious breakfast!
4. Tips Section
- Reheating Leftover Grilled Meat: To keep your grilled chicken or sausage juicy, reheat it gently in a skillet with a splash of water or broth. Avoid microwaving, as it can dry out the meat.
- Getting Fluffy Eggs: For the fluffiest scrambled eggs, whisk them well and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Take them off the heat while they still look slightly undercooked—they’ll continue to cook from residual heat.
- Prevent Soggy Tortillas: If you’re adding salsa, pat it dry first or use pico de gallo. Also, don’t overfill your burrito—less is more when it comes to keeping the wrap intact.
- Grill the Tortillas: For an extra smoky flavor and crispy texture, warm your tortillas on your charcoal grill or gas grill for 30-60 seconds per side. The charred spots add delicious BBQ recipe flavor.
- Meal Prep Tip: You can make these burritos ahead of time and wrap them individually in foil. Store in your RV fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat on the grill or in a skillet.
- Food Safety: If storing in your camper fridge, make sure your fridge temperature is at or below 40°F. Keep an eye on your propane gauge if you’re running your propane fridge—you don’t want to run out of propane and risk your food storage.
5. Variations
- Spicy Version: Use spicy sausage, add jalapeños, and top with hot sauce. Add a dash of cayenne to the eggs for extra heat.
- BBQ Sauce Version: Brush your grilled chicken with BBQ sauce before dicing. Add a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce inside the burrito for a sweet and smoky flavor.
- Healthy Version: Use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas. Add spinach, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the eggs. Use turkey sausage and skip the cheese.
- Smoky Version: Use smoked chicken or sausage and add smoked paprika to the eggs. For an even deeper flavor, use a smoker instead of a grill for your protein.
- Veggie Version: Skip the meat and load up on grilled vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini. Add black beans for protein.
- Budget-Friendly Version: Use up any leftover grilled vegetables or meats from dinner. This is a great way to make your grocery budget go further and reduce food waste.
6. Storage Instructions
- How to Store Leftovers: Allow assembled burritos to cool completely. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in your camper fridge for up to 3 days. Proper food storage is essential for food safety on the road.
- Reheating Without Drying: To reheat, unwrap the burrito and heat in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until warmed through. Alternatively, wrap in foil and reheat on your gas grill or charcoal grill for 5-7 minutes.
- Freezing Option: These burritos freeze well for up to 3 months. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and then foil. To reheat from frozen, unwrap, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or reheat in foil on the grill.
7. FAQ Section
Q: Can I use other types of protein in this breakfast burrito?
Absolutely! Bacon, ham, chorizo, or even tofu all work great. The key is to use pre-cooked or quickly grilled protein. For that smoky flavor, fire up your charcoal grill or gas grill to give the protein a quick char.
Q: How do I keep the burrito from falling apart?
Don’t overfill—leave about 1 inch of space on each side. Fold the sides in first, then roll from the bottom up. Wrapping in foil also helps keep everything together, especially if you’re eating on the go.
Q: Can I make these burritos ahead of time?
Yes! They’re perfect for meal prep. Assemble, wrap in foil, and store in your RV fridge. When you’re ready to eat, reheat on the grill, in a skillet, or in a microwave. Just make sure your fridge space allows for proper storage.
Q: How long should I grill the sausage or chicken?
If grilling fresh, preheat your gas grill or charcoal grill to medium heat (375°F). Cook sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. Chicken breasts take 6-8 minutes per side. Always check internal temperature—165°F for chicken, 160°F for sausage.
Q: What if I don’t have a grill for smoky flavor?
You can still get smoky flavor by using smoked sausage, adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the eggs, or using a dash of liquid smoke. A good sear in a cast iron skillet also adds great flavor.
Q: How can I save propane while cooking this breakfast?
Since this is a 10-minute meal, you’re already using minimal propane. For even more efficiency, use your gas grill to cook both the protein and warm the tortillas simultaneously. Plan your propane usage by keeping an eye on your propane gauge and tank capacity.
Q: Can I eat this burrito cold?
It’s delicious hot, but you can eat it cold if you’re in a hurry. Just make sure any meat you use was properly cooled and stored in your RV refrigerator to maintain food safety.
