Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced zucchini
- 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Other
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking for 3–4 minutes until softened. Then add the diced zucchini and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Cook Eggs with Vegetables: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Stir occasionally, cooking until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined with the egg and vegetable mixture.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they become pliable and easy to roll.
- Assemble Burritos: Spoon the egg and veggie mixture evenly down the center of each warm tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a burrito.
- Serve: Serve the burritos immediately with salsa or hot sauce if desired. Alternatively, wrap them in foil for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
Notes
- These burritos can be made ahead and frozen for convenient meals.
- To reheat frozen burritos, microwave for 1–2 minutes or bake at 375°F for 15 minutes until warmed through.
- For a flavor variation, swap the cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese.
