Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1/2 Onion, chopped
- 1/2 Bell Pepper, chopped
- 2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach
- Avocado, diced, to taste
Egg Mixture
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Half and Half
Other
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (divided: 2 tsp + 1 tsp)
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
- 2 Flour Tortillas
- Salsa, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large sauté pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peppers are crisp and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Wilt Spinach: Add 2 cups of fresh baby spinach to the pan with onions and bell peppers, tossing until wilted. Remove the vegetable mixture from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: Crack 4 large eggs into a small bowl and mix in 2 tablespoons of half and half until blended.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently move the mixture around using a rubber spatula to create soft scrambled eggs. Once cooked, remove from heat.
- Warm Tortillas and Melt Cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly on each flour tortilla. Heat both tortillas in a microwave for 40 to 45 seconds to melt the cheese. Remove and lay flat on a countertop or cutting board.
- Assemble Burritos: Spoon half of the cooked scrambled eggs and some of the sautéed veggie mixture onto the center of each cheese-covered tortilla. Add salsa to taste.
- Add Avocado: Top each burrito filling with diced avocado to your preference.
- Wrap Burritos: To wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, partially covering the filling. Then fold the end closest to you over the filling and sides, rolling snugly until sealed.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh veggie breakfast burrito!
