Bangin’ Breakfast Burritos: Simple Vegetarian Egg, Cheese, and Potato

Basic Egg, Cheese and Potato Breakfast Burrito

Here at Cooking Light, we’re all about convenience. Bluntly speaking, we’re obsessed with make-ahead breakfast recipes. All prep can be done over the weekend! Once you freeze these burritos, you’ll have five days worth of breakfast. Just pop these bad boys in the microwave and head out the door. That’s right—no fuss in the morning and an extra 15 minutes in bed. You are very welcome!

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 medium potatoes, diced
8 baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 medium sweet pepper, diced
1/4 cup yellow corn kernels
3 tablespoons fresh chive, chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
10 large eggs, lightly beaten
5 large low-carb, whole-wheat tortillas (such as Mission)
1/3 cup spinach
1/3 cup grated cheese (Cheddar, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack)

Preparation
1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil and sauté onions until tender and starting to brown. Add potatoes; cook for 5 minutes, or until fork tender. Add mushrooms, peppers, and corn; sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside in a medium bowl.

2. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook eggs 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft scrambled and beginning to set, stirring frequently. Remove from the pan and set aside in a small bowl.

3. In the same nonstick skillet, warm the tortilla 1 minute on each side, until they are golden brown (or burnt, if that’s your style).

4. Place 5 tortillas on a work surface. Split the hash evenly, and divide eggs over top. Add spinach leaves to each serving and top with cheese. Roll up, jelly-roll style.

TO FREEZE: Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and foil; place burritos in a large plastic freezer bag. Store for up to 3 months.

TO HEAT: Unwrap burritos; rewrap with a paper towel. Microwave at HIGH 3 to 4 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking.
