Ingredients
Egg and Cheese Mixture
- 5 large Eggs, beaten
- 2 slices Cheese (of your choice)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
Vegetables
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 3 large Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 handful Spinach
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 1/2 medium Green bell pepper (Capsicum), sliced
Other Ingredients
- 2 Flour tortillas, burrito size (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tbsp Oil (divided)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather and prepare all ingredients by slicing onions, mushrooms, tomato, and green bell pepper, and beating the eggs thoroughly.
- Sauté Onion and Mushrooms: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms and sauté until they develop a nice color and soften. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
- Sauté Spinach: In the same pan, add the spinach and sauté for a couple of minutes or until wilted. Remove from pan and set aside with the onions and mushrooms.
- Scramble Eggs: Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and let them cook undisturbed for about a minute until slightly set. Using a wooden spatula, gently stir the eggs, creating small curds, and cook until no longer liquid but still soft. Add the broken cheese slices, season with salt and pepper, mix gently until cheese softens, then remove from heat.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Warm each tortilla for about 15 seconds on each side until pliable and warm, following package instructions.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat on your workspace. Spread half of the sautéed onions, mushrooms, spinach, sliced tomatoes, green bell pepper, and scrambled eggs mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Fold the Burritos: Fold the opposite ends of the tortilla towards the center to prevent filling from falling out. Then roll the tortilla tightly from one free end burrito-style. Cut in half if desired.
- Serve: Your breakfast burritos are ready to be served hot. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
Notes
- You can substitute the cheese with your preferred type, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
- For spicier burritos, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the eggs before scrambling.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
- These burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave before eating.
- Adding cooked sausage or bacon can enhance the protein content if desired.
