• Meal Prep Marvel: Short on time during the week? No problem! Make a batch of these burritos on the weekend and store them in the refrigerator for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the busy week.

This makes them ideal for meal prepping – a practice that saves you time and ensures you have healthy, convenient options readily available throughout the week.

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup chopped vegetables (bell pepper, onion, mushrooms – your choice)
• ½ cup cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage (optional)
• ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your favorite)
• 1 large flour tortilla
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: Salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Heat Up the Pan: Get your pan nice and hot over medium heat with a splash of oil to prevent sticking.
2. Sauté the Veggies (Optional): If you’re incorporating vegetables into your burrito, add them to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
3. Scramble Some Eggs: Push the veggies to one side of the pan and crack your eggs on the other side. Season with salt and pepper and scramble them until cooked through.
4. Warm the Tortilla: While the eggs are cooking, warm your tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make it pliable and easier to roll. This ensures the tortilla doesn’t crack when you fold it around the filling.
5. Assemble Your Masterpiece: Spread the scrambled eggs evenly across the center of the warmed tortilla. Top it off with your cooked sausage (if using), sauteed veggies, and a sprinkle of your chosen cheese.
6. The Perfect Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards to contain the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom for a secure and mess-free breakfast on the go.
7. Repeat and Conquer: With the remaining ingredients, create another breakfast burrito masterpiece or assemble enough for the whole week!
8. Serve and Savor: Enjoy your All-Star Breakfast Burrito immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, or hot sauce for an extra flavor kick.

Tips and Tricks:

• Bulk Up for Bigger Appetites: Feeling extra hungry? Don’t be shy about bulking up your burrito with additional ingredients like black beans, cooked rice, or leftover roasted vegetables for a heartier and more filling breakfast. This allows you to customize the burrito to your specific needs and preferences.
• Vegetarian Delight: Skip the sausage and create a vegetarian version by adding black beans, crumbled tofu scramble, or sauteed spinach for a plant-based protein boost.

• Leftover Magic: Didn’t manage to devour all your burritos in one go? No worries! Wrap cooled burritos tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a pan over medium heat or microwave for 30-60 seconds until warmed through. This makes them perfect for meal prepping, allowing you to enjoy a delicious breakfast throughout the week.
