    How to Make the Best Homemade Breakfast Burritos

    1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, ham, garlic, and green chiles until the onion is soft and translucent.
    2. Whisk the eggs with the spices. Add to the skillet. As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to scramble them. Continue to cook until the eggs are set and beginning to brown.
    3. Place one tortilla on a microwave safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds. This will make the tortilla pliable.
    4. Spoon about ¾ cup of the egg mixture into the center of the warm tortilla.
    5. Heat salsa in the microwave for 30 seconds. Spread about 2 tablespoons of salsa on top of the egg mixture on the tortilla. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of shredded cheese.
    6. Tuck in the ends and wrap up burrito. Serve hot or place in refrigerator for a make ahead meal.

    Equipment

    • Garlic press

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • ½ onion chopped
    • 4 ounces deli ham chopped
    • 1 clove garlic pressed
    • 4 oz diced green chili peppers drained and chopped
    • 4 eggs beaten
    • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
    • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
    • ¼ teaspoon southwest seasoning
    • 3 tortillas garlic and pesto flavor
    • ¾ cup Mexican blend cheese shredded
    • ½ cup salsa
    • 1 large avocado chopped

    Instructions
     

    • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, ham, garlic, and green chiles until onion is soft and translucent.
    • Whisk the eggs with the spices. Add this mixture to the skillet. As the eggs begin to set, use the spatula to scramble them. Continue to cook until the eggs are solid and beginning to brown.
    • Place one tortilla on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds. (This makes the tortilla pliable.)
    • Spoon about ¾ of a cup of the egg mixture into the center of the warm tortilla.
    • Heat salsa in the microwave for 30 seconds. Spread about two tablespoons of salsa on top of the eggs.
    • Sprinkle with ¼ cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese and a sprinkle of chopped avocado.
    • Wrap up the burrito. Everything is already hot, so there's no need to cook them, but if you want to grill them in a panini press to toast the tortilla, you can do that.
    • Repeat for the remaining burritos.

    Notes

    I think the garlic and pesto tortillas made these burritos. I bought them in the bakery section of my local big box grocery store.

      That is so very motivated of you!! I totally do not have that kind of energy when I get up in the morning - if I remember to cook the night before we can have muffins - or I might make pancakes but that is all I can muster up. 🙂
