How to Make Buffalo Chicken Breakfast Burritos (Overview)

Making these burritos is as easy as pie (or should I say, burrito pie?). Start by warming your Buffalo chicken. Next, get those eggs all fluffy and combined with a splash of milk. Once they’re scrambled and mixed perfectly, assemble and roll your burritos. Pro tip: Don’t skip toasting the burritos; that crispy outer layer adds a satisfying crunch that takes them over the top!

Tips to Make Buffalo Chicken Breakfast Burritos

1. Egg consistency: Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and fluffy.
