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!
