Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 6 burrito-sized tortillas (10-12" size)
  • 12 eggs
  • whole milk or half and half, heavy cream, or unsweetened nut milk
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 8oz block cheddar cheese or 6-12 slices
  • 1-2 bell peppers diced
  • ½-1 white onion diced

Alternate Option for Filling (instead of peppers & onions):

  • bacon cooked & cooled
  • spinach

For Topping:

  • avocado
  • salsa
  • greek yogurt or sour cream
  • cilantro

Instructions

  • Start by dicing your peppers and onions into cubes. Heat a large skillet with avocado oil. Throw in your peppers and onions. Season with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook down until they're cooked to your liking. Set aside and let cool completely.
  • Next, in a medium bowl, whisk together your eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Heat the same pan (remove the veggies and set aside) or grab a new pan. Heat the pan with butter. Add in the eggs. Cook until done and remove from pan to cool.

To Assemble:

  • Make sure the eggs and pepper/ onion mixture are cooled completely!
  • Lay out your tortilla (it's easiest if you go ahead and put it on a piece of foil so you don't have to transfer it), add your cheese. It works best if you add the sliced cheese first to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy.
  • Next, add on your eggs (1/6 of the mixture) and about ¼ cup of the veggie mixture. Roll up your burrito in a tight wrap. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll up from the bottom. Wrap the burrito in foil tightly. Repeat for the other 5 burritos.
  • Optional: If you choose the bacon and spinach filling. Cook & cool your bacon per your preference. After you add on the eggs to the burrito, top with bacon, and spinach. Roll it up and follow the rest of the directions.
  • It's best if you freeze the burritos in a single layer for about an hour in the freezer first and THEN add to your freezer bag. It just helps them to freeze in a more uniform shape!

To Eat:

  • Thaw your burrito in the fridge overnight. Place your burrito on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes. Or heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through! Add your toppings of choice and enjoy!
