Breakfast burritos or wraps - popular in Amish households - encapsulate many culinary changes found in Amish kitchens. First, the influence of Tex Mex cooking on Amish cooking is undeniable. Salsas, burritos, tacos, and jalapenos are just the first influences off-the-top of my head that I see making their way into Amish recipes. The second trend this recipe captures is the influence of pop culture on Amish cooking.
🍔 McDonald's Influences The Amish
McDonald's is, I believe, the first fast-food chain to market a "breakfast burrito", but now they are found on many menus. Lastly, this meal also symbolizes the Amish need for quick, convenience type food. Just because you travel by slower horse and buggy doesn't mean you don't need a quick meal! The beauty of breakfast burritos is that they can be made ahead of time and frozen for a quick on the go meal. And, believe me, these homemade versions are far tastier than the restaurant ones!
Don't these look yummy?
These are some burritos being prepared in an Amish home. And here is the recipe so you can try them yourself at home!
📋 Step-By-Step Amish Breakfast Wraps
I made these with my almost 11-year-old daughter. Super simple and she really liked them. Many Amish cooks make these head of time, stick them in the freezer and then warm them up for a quick breakfast.
Mix the eggs well until the yolks are ready to be poured into a skillet.
We scrambled the eggs, but they could be fried or poached, or however, you want them, but scrambled work well, especially if made ahead of time and freezing.
I fried some breakfast sausage which were going to go into my wrap. My daughter only had egg and cheese, but I made mine sausage egg and cheese.
This is how my daughter's wrap looked before she closed the tortilla up and ate it.
We used six eggs for this recipe and made three wraps. But you can easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe and adjust proportions accordingly. You can swap out bacon or ham for the sausage, or just have a veggie version. Use whatever sauce you want, there really are few rules with this recipe!

I had a lot of problems with this page. Print recipe didn’t work. When I tried to comment, that link didn’t work. Had to get out and come back in to comment. Working on an iPad. Thanks.
