Step-by-step
- COOK bacon in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. REMOVE bacon; pour off all but 1 tbsp. drippings. ADD mushrooms; sauté over medium heat 2 minutes. ADD arugula; cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- POUR eggs over mixture in skillet. As eggs begin to set, GENTLY PULL the eggs across the pan with an inverted turner, forming large soft curds. CONTINUE cooking – pulling, lifting and folding eggs – until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not stir constantly. SEASON with salt and pepper.
- SPOON egg mixture into center of each tortilla, dividing evenly; top each with 1 bacon slice. FOLD in sides of tortillas, then roll up burrito-style.
Swapping Proteins and Greens
Replacing turkey bacon with standard pork bacon changes the rendered fat content significantly, requiring adjustment when sautéing the mushrooms. Standard bacon releases more grease, so drain excess fat until only one tablespoon remains before adding the fungi. Shiitake mushrooms contribute umami compounds that bond with the sulfur in eggs, creating a savory depth. Spinach functions as a reliable substitute for arugula if a milder green is preferred.Controlling Egg Texture
Scrambling eggs over medium heat demands patience and specific motions. Pulling an inverted turner across the 12-inch nonstick skillet forms large, soft curds rather than dry granules. Stop stirring once no visible liquid remains to keep the moisture intact. Constant stirring produces rubbery proteins instead of the desired tender texture.Tortilla Handling
Warming flour or whole wheat tortillas makes them pliable enough to fold without tearing. Place them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side over medium heat. Roll the burritos tightly by folding the sides inward first.
