HOW TO: Breakfast Burritos

Brenda is a big believer in breakfast, ideally mostly carbs. John also enjoys breakfast, but prefers a breakfast that prioritizes protein. The breakfast burrito, in all it’s many iterations, brings both. Along with the added benefit of “grab and go” since time always seems to be tight in the morning.

HOW TO: Breakfast Burritos

Identify & set aside desired additional ingredients for the breakfast burrito filling, here are some suggestions:

• Bacon, cooked and chopped

• Sausage, cooked and drained

• Ham, cubed or deli-slices

• Mushrooms, chopped

• Onions, finely diced

• Bell peppers, diced

• Potatoes, cooked (hash browns, tots, fries, etc.)

• Rice (leftover fried rice is especially delicious)

• Corn, steamed

Place a non-stick skillet on the stove and set to medium to preheat skillet.

Place a second skillet on the stove, adjust heat to medium-low, and immediately add:

1 flour tortilla

Brush lightly with:

Butter

Flip. Add:

Cheese (sliced or shredded or crumbled)

Allow to cook so the cheese slowly melts and tortilla stays soft. While that cooks, prepare the following . . .

To a small bowl, add:

2 eggs

1 tsp water

Whisk until well blended.

Grease the first skillet with:

~1 tsp butter (or bacon fat)

Ensure that full surface of the skillet is covered. When butter has completely melted and sizzles, pour in:

Whisked eggs

Additional Ingredients (~ 1 Tbsp of each)

Using a heat-proof spatula,* scrape mixing bowl. Use the spatula to cook the eggs, lifting and stirring, while keeping the eggs & additions together as a single patty. Flip the egg patty over to cook on the other side. DO NOT allow the egg to brown.

Once cooked through, transfer the egg patty to top the melted cheese on the tortilla.

Add any fresh ingredients:

• Tomatoes, diced

• Avocados, sliced (or guacamole)

• Green onions

• Micro greens

And condiments:

• Sour cream

• Taco sauce

• Salsa

• Horse radish

Roll up and serve hot OR wrap in a sheet of aluminum foil for breakfast on the go.

Brenda’s tips:

• Serving size: 6 eggs = 12 deviled eggs

• Increase/decrease amounts of ingredients per personal preference

• Create additional flavors by adding other herbs & spices (i.e. dill), relish, greek yogurt, vinegar, avocado, etc.

• Best made fresh and served immediately

  • For food safety purposes, it is good practice to place in the refrigerator even if serving “soon”

• Recipe is easily scalable, for example:

  • Divide all by three = 2 whole eggs + 1 tsp mayo + scant 1/16 tsp salt & mustard

  • Multiply all by 4 = 24 whole eggs + 1/4 cup mayo + 1/2 tsp salt & mustard

    • Note: 3 tsp x 4 = 12 tsp = 4 Tbsp = 1/4 cup
