Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free tortillas)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or dairy-free)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
- Salsa
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs – In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Sauté the Veggies – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Add Spinach – Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and reduces in volume.
- Cook the Eggs – Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Scramble the eggs gently, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until they are fully set but still moist.
- Cool & Assemble – Remove the skillet from heat and allow the egg mixture to cool slightly. Lay out each tortilla and evenly divide the egg and vegetable filling among them. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling.
- Wrap the Burritos – Tightly roll up each tortilla, folding in the sides to securely enclose the filling, creating a neat burrito shape.
- Freeze for Later – For meal prep, wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place burritos in a freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Reheat When Ready – Microwave: Remove any wrapping and microwave the burrito on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through, flipping halfway if needed.
- Reheat When Ready – Oven: Wrap the burrito in foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed thoroughly.
- Reheat When Ready – Stovetop: Warm the burrito in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until heated evenly and the tortilla slightly crisps.
- Serve & Enjoy – Serve your warmed breakfast burritos with salsa and optionally garnish with fresh chopped cilantro for added flavor and freshness.
