Breakfast Burrito

May 13, 2020 by Kelly Devine Rickert

Recipe from the momables.com site.(LOVE her blog and book!)

Mornings are easy when you can grab some of these Freezer-Friendly Breakfast Burritos! Easy to make ahead and way taster than the store-bought ones.

•Author: MOMables.com
•Yield: 6

Ingredients
•6 large eggs (can use egg substitute or egg whites as well)
•1 tablespoon oil
•1 medium tomato, finely diced (add in as many veggies as you want!)
•1 cup shredded cheese (I use 2%)
•6 8-inch tortillas (gluten-free if needed) (I use Mission carb balance tortillas)
•6 parchment paper squares, about 10 inches
•Additional toppings, avocado, and salsa (optional)

Instructions
1.In a medium bowl, whisk eggs.
2.In a medium skillet (about 10 inches) over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and pour in whisked eggs. Once they start cooking, add in your diced tomato and any other add-ins you like in your burritos. Continue to stir the egg and topping mixture until fully cooked and remove pan from heat.
3.On a flat surface, place a tortilla on top of a parchment paper square. Top the tortilla with ⅙ of the egg mixture, top with shredded cheese and any other toppings or salsa.
4.Fold tortilla over the fillings, fold in the sides, and roll into a burrito. Once your breakfast burrito is closed, wrap with the parchment paper square.
5.Repeat the process with remaining tortillas and eggs. Once cooled, transfer assembled burritos into a gallon sized freezer bag and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to one month.
6.To eat, simply warm directly in the microwave until heated through.

Great breakfast to start your workday! (Even if you are at home!)

In good health,
