If you are not a morning person or like to eat breakfast but don't have enough time to make something complicated, this recipe is for you. I'm a big breakfast girl, it might sound strange to some but I can eat as soon as I open my eyes. If I wait too long to have something to eat I start to feel nauseous. That's why I'm always looking for quick yet nutritious meals that will make me full until it's time for lunch. My latest obssesions are quick and easy egg tortilla. I love how versatile they are so I can never get bored of making them.
This recipe is a game-changer for mornings when you're short on time but still crave something more satisfying than a granola bar. It's ridiculously easy, takes about 5 minutes (seriously!), and uses ingredients you probably already have on hand. You can see how I make it on my Instagram.
Here's the magic formula for your rushed mornings:
Ingredients:
- 1 large flour tortilla (burrito size works best)
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings (cheese, salsa, avocado, veggies, etc.)
The Super Speedy Steps:
- Heat Up the Pan: Throw your pan on medium heat. Trust me, waiting for the pan to heat up is the longest part of this whole process!
- Whisk Away: While the pan heats up, crack those eggs into a bowl and give them a good whisking. Season with salt and pepper (don't skimp on the pepper, it adds a nice little kick!).
- Egg Time!: Once your pan is hot, add a thin layer of oil or butter. Pour in your whisked egg mixture and let it cook for a minute or two, until the bottom starts to set.
- The Tortilla Transformation: Here's the magic trick: carefully slide your trusty flour tortilla on top of the cooking eggs. Use a spatula to gently press it down and make sure it adheres to the eggs.
- Flavor Fiesta (Optional): Now's your chance to get creative! Sprinkle on some shredded cheese, add a dollop of salsa, or throw in some chopped veggies. The possibilities are endless!
- The Big Fold: Once your eggs are cooked through and your toppings are in place, carefully fold the tortilla in half. Boom! Breakfast burrito magic.
- Devour & Conquer!: Slide that masterpiece onto a plate, grab a fork (or skip the utensils and embrace the handheld goodness!), and conquer your day with a delicious and nutritious breakfast.
Tips from a Breakfast Burrito Pro
- Spice it Up! For those who like it to be more spicy, they can add a dash of hot sauce or your favorite spices to your egg mixture for an extra flavor boost. You can also add hot ketchup while your eggs are cooking so the tortilla will stick better to the eggs.
- Leftover Love: Made a double batch? No worries! This recipe works great with leftover cooked meats or veggies. Just toss them in with your eggs for added protein and flavor.
- The Cheese Factor: Don't be shy with the cheese! Melted cheese adds a delightful gooeyness that takes this breakfast to the next level.
- Veggie Power: Diced tomatoes, spinach, or even leftover roasted veggies can add a healthy dose of vitamins and fiber to your morning scramble. Using vegetables that are in season is my favorite way of making these simple egg tortilla even more delicious and nutritious.
