Breakfast Burrito Ingredients
- 2 tortillas
- 4 slices of turkey bacon
- ½ cup shredded cheese, Mexican style
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup egg whites
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 4 tsp taco seasoning
- Olive oil spray, or olive oil or butter (for cooking)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Add olive oil spray, diced bell peppers, and diced onion to a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables become tender, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk Eggs: In a small bowl, combine the 2 whole eggs, ¾ cup egg whites, and 4 teaspoons of taco seasoning. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the whisked egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the pan. Scramble the mixture gently over medium heat until the eggs are fully cooked. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cook Turkey Bacon: In a separate pan over medium-high heat, cook the turkey bacon slices for 1-2 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly crispy.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the shredded Mexican-style cheese on each. Spoon the scrambled eggs and vegetables over the cheese, then top with the cooked turkey bacon slices.
- Roll Burritos: Carefully roll each tortilla into a burrito shape, ensuring all fillings are secure inside. Serve immediately or cool and store in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.
