Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Flautas

Flautas are a popular Mexican dish that are made by rolling up a filling in a corn or flour tortilla and frying them. In this recipe, we fill ours with bacon, cheddar cheese, and eggs in a flour tortilla for a delicious breakfast dish. They can be served with salsa or sour cream on the side for dipping.
Our recipe is perfect for make ahead morning rush breakfast grabs (just heat in microwave for 20 - 30 seconds), or a brunch or Holiday breakfast layout.

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil or non stick spray. Set aside for later.
  • Heat a skillet and use non stick spray or brush with oil. Whisk one egg in a small bowl, add to heated skillet. As egg starts to set up don't flip, instead lay one flour tortilla on top, and using your hand to hold the tortilla in place, turn skillet upside down so the egg is on top of the tortilla. Lay egg topped tortilla on your cutting board.

  • Season egg patty with salt & pepper. Lay 2 slices of Colby cheese on top of hot egg patty. Lay 2 strips of bacon near edge closest to you. Starting where the bacon is, roll up loosely. Repeat for all 6 flautas.

  • Lay each rolled up flauta onto the prepared baking sheet, with the seam facing down. Brush tops with melted butter.
    ¼ cup melted butter
  • Bake in oven for 30 minutes, cut into chunks as appetizers or serve whole as a meal.

Notes

  • Wrap these breakfast flautas in wax paper instead of plastic wrap, and store in a zip lock bag. This will keep them fresh, and easy to unroll after microwaving. Plastic wrap sticks together so well that it's a wrestling match getting the heated flautas out after microwaving.
  • Purchase the bacon already cooked to save a lot of time.
