Breakfast Burrito

Serves: 1
These burritos are a fantastic “grab ‘n go” option if you or your kids find sitting down at the table for breakfast takes too much time. Also a fantastic healthy after school snack choice…plus a great way to use up those leftover veggies!
Ingredients
  • Olive oil spray (I love the [url href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002V91TY4?ie=UTF8&creativeASIN=B002V91TY4&linkCode=xm2&tag=meaplamav-20″ target=”_blank”]Misto[/url]!)
  • 1/2 cup mixed chopped veggies (bell peppers, onion, spinach, broccoli, etc.)
  • 2 eggs, beaten (can also use 1 egg and 3 egg whites)
  • 1 slice cooked turkey bacon, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (optional)
  • 1 large whole grain or sprouted grain tortilla (8-inches or larger)
  • Salsa, if desired
Instructions
  1. Lightly coat a small frying pan with olive oil spray; heat over medium setting. Sauté the vegetables for about 2 minutes or until softened and lightly browned. Add beaten eggs to veggies and scramble together. Mix in cooked turkey bacon as well as cheese and parsley. (if using)
  2. Place egg mixture down the center of tortilla. Add a spoonful of salsa, if desired. Carefully fold in bottom of tortilla toward the middle. Next, fold in both sides of tortilla toward middle, forming a burrito. (or may be more like a wrap or taco, depending on size of tortilla)
  3. Enjoy immediately or wrap tightly for a quickie breakfast on-the-run!
Notes
To save time, cook turkey bacon the night before. Store, covered in the refrigerator.
