Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 4 large flour tortillas (or gluten-free tortillas)
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
Additional
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or dairy-free)
- Salsa (for serving)
- 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 incorporate air for a fluffy texture.
- 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 become soft and translucent.
- Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted, mixing the vegetables thoroughly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Scramble gently, stirring regularly for 4-5 minutes until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
- Cool & Assemble: Remove the skillet from heat and let the scrambled egg mixture cool slightly. Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the filling among them. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the filling.
- Wrap the Burritos: Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling inside, forming burrito shapes that are easy to handle.
- Freeze for Later: For make-ahead convenience, wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer until needed.
- Reheat When Ready: To enjoy, unwrap the burrito and heat using one of these methods: Microwave for 1-2 minutes until hot; Oven-bake wrapped in foil at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes; or warm in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until heated through.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve the warm breakfast burritos with salsa and fresh cilantro for extra flavor and a delightful start to the day.
