Breakfast Burritos for the Busy

I always say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However I also understand mornings can be the busiest time of the day. This is why I have become quite talented at whipping up fast, hot, filling breakfasts in under 30 minutes. Sometimes, I even make several breakfasts I can leave in the fridge or freezer, then reheat and run out the door. If you have a few minutes to spare in the AM or some time on Sunday to get ahead for the week, this a perfect idea to make filling your belly in the mornings easy. I made two, but you can scale this to whatever size you want.

Ingredients:
2 tortillas
2 eggs, scrambled
1/4 cup cooked beans (I used canned kidney)
1/2 cup veggie (sliced zucchini featured here)
2 slices cheddar cheese


Step 1: In a sprayed or non-stick skillet, cook the veggies (I've used peppers, onion, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, squash, carrots...). Add the beans just to heat them, then pour in the beaten eggs. 
Step 2: Cook the eggs until fully done. Sprinkle on some salt or other seasonings if you like.

Step 3: Heat the tortilla for 10-15 seconds in the microwave, then add the cheese and half the egg mixture. Fold both ends of the tortilla in, then roll it up. I ate one that morning and saved the other for the next day. 

Please do get creative, you could add refried beans, black beans, spinach, sriracha... the possibilities are endless so you never get bored. These are also a quite affordable source of some major protein.

What's your favorite wrap combination?
