Breakfast Burriots

I found this recipe not too long ago and I make excuses to eat these multiple times a week. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. It doesn't matter, they are great any time of day. Try one and you'll never eat a breakfast burrito w/o roasted tomatoes again! Delicious.





 Breakfast Burritos

1-2 cups grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 small sweet onion, diced
1 tsp olive oil
salt/pepper

4 large whole wheat tortillas
8 eggs
2-3 Tb milk
salt/pepper/red pepper flakes

grated pepper jack cheese/cheddar cheese
baby spinach leaves
fresh avocado slices

Start out with tossing the tomatoes and onion in olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Roast in a 400 oven for 15 minutes. This step is a MUST! It makes the burrito superior to any other :) They will look like this when they are done:



While these are cooking, scramble the eggs. Crack all the eggs in a bowl, add your seasoning and milk and whisk until well combined. pour into a saucepan and cook slowly at medium heat. When the eggs are almost finished cooking remove from heat and they will finish cooking while you get the tortillas ready.

Heat the tortillas in a fry pan on the stove with a teeny tiny bit of butter (I don't use butter, just heat), for just a few moments on each side. Put the warm and toasted tortilla on a plate, then lay the spinach down the middle. Spoon on some of your roasted tomatoes and onions, scrambled eggs, top with cheese and avocado.

I fold mine up like a taco b/c I don't' think their is a burrito shell big enough to contain it all. If you can roll it like a burrito, do so. If not, get a fork and enjoy what falls out after your breakfast burrito/taco is eaten.
