Mornings can be a whirlwind, can’t they? But there’s something about the aroma of freshly heated tortillas that just slows time a bit, even if it’s only for a fleeting moment. These breakfast wraps are like a cozy hug you can eat—simple, quick, and just what you need to conquer the day ahead. Plus, ever since that viral trend with tortilla folding, I’ve been obsessed.
Steps
- Prepare the Bacon: Slice the bacon strips in half and cook them until crispy using your preferred method such as baking or air frying. You can prepare the bacon in advance to save time.
- Cook the Egg: Crack an egg into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk it with a fork. Pour the mixture into a buttered skillet and cook until the egg is fully scrambled.
- Prepare the Avocado: In a bowl, mash half of an avocado with a fork, seasoning it with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Assemble the Tortilla: Make a cut from the edge of the tortilla to the center. Place the scrambled egg in the bottom right section, bacon in the top right, mashed avocado in the top left, and shredded cheese in the bottom left.
- Fold the Tortilla: Start by folding the section with the scrambled egg upwards, then continue folding the sections over each other to form a neat triangle.
- Cook the Folded Tortilla: In a heated non-stick skillet with melted butter, place the folded tortilla. Cook until it turns golden brown and crispy on both sides, adding more butter if needed.

FAQ
- What is the TikTok Breakfast Tortilla Fold?
- The TikTok Breakfast Tortilla Fold is a viral technique that elevates a typical tortilla breakfast wrap by dividing the tortilla into quadrants, each filled with different ingredients, and folding them into a compact triangle. This method ensures each bite includes all the components.
- Can I make the Breakfast Tortilla Wrap ahead of time?
- Yes, you can pre-cook the bacon (or use an air fryer for quicker results), and scramble the eggs ahead of time. Store them in the fridge and assemble the wrap just before serving to keep it fresh and crispy.

- If you don’t have bacon, you can use cooked sausage or your preferred deli meats. For the cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, or a Mexican cheese blend work well. Feel free to experiment with fillings like sautéed vegetables or cooked beans for variety.
- How do I ensure my tortilla wrap stays crispy when cooking?

Tips
- Precook Bacon for Speed: To save time, prepare your bacon in advance. Try using an air fryer for quick results, allowing you to have your breakfast wrap ready in less than 15 minutes.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A good non-stick skillet is essential to keep this a one-pan recipe. You can seamlessly transition from cooking bacon to scrambling eggs and then toasting your folded wrap without needing multiple pans.
- Avocado for Moisture: Mashing half an avocado adds a nice moisture level to the tortilla wrap. Don’t forget to season it with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Master the Fold: Cut a slit halfway through the tortilla and divide your ingredients into four sections. Folding from the bottom right up and continuing around ensures a neat triangular wrap that holds together when sautéed.
Equipment
- Non-stick skillet – A high-quality non-stick skillet is recommended for cooking the egg and sautéing the tortilla wrap.
- Air fryer – If you want to use the air fryer method for cooking the bacon, an air fryer would be necessary.
