Healthy Breakfast Burrito

Healthy Breakfast Burrito

September 30, 2024 Maurice

For breakfast, lunch or snack. A great high protein and high veg wrap!

Over the years, my quick scrambled eggs and cheese wrap has evolved to this healthy breakfast burrito. I'm someone who generally never likes eating the same thing, but this is one dish that I keep going back too, especially as a quick post-workout recovery meal. And as always, there is a tonne of sneaky hidden veg that you won't even notice.

Don't forget you can cook your eggs anyway you like - and don't forget to add bacon on days that you feel like treating yourself. Today is as good of a day as any!

A delicious breakfast burrito filled with hidden veg and loaded with protein. I eat some version of this at least twice a week, generally for my lunch!

Stacked breakfast burritos

Ingredients

2 Beige Veg Blocks*
2 wholegrain wraps (I like the Woolies homebrand ones. Best size, taste and value)
3 eggs (we're making scrambled eggs, but do yours your preferred way)
2 tablespoons of milk
½ teaspoon butter
2 slices of cheese (Swiss is our favourite)
½ an avocado
1 tomato
2 handfuls fresh baby spinach, washed

Directions

Defrost the Veg Blocks for 60 seconds in the microwave.
Slice your avocado, dice the tomato, put to the side.
Start heating the frypan on a medium heat. Add the baby spinach to the frypan and cook until wilted, then remove the spinach and place to the side. Place the empty frypan back on the heat to heat up for the eggs.
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the milk and a pinch of salt if desired.
Add the butter to the frypan. As soon as it has melted, turn the frypan to cover as much of the pan as possible. Add the egg mixture while the pan is hot (but not smoking). Note: cooking eggs in a small amount of fat has many benefits, including improved egg nutrients absorption, and a softer egg.
While the eggs are cooking, microwave your wraps for 45 seconds. Remove from microwave and place your cheese on the hot wraps immediately. Check on the eggs, stirring occasionally (but not too much). While the eggs finish cooking, add to the wrap: defrosted Veg Blocks, cooked spinach, tomato and avocado.
Turn off the heat once the scrambled eggs are cooked and dived the cooked eggs between the 2 wraps.
Wrap the burritos and enjoy.

Recipe Note

Note: I love my wraps bursting at the seams. If you like less filling in your wraps, you will either need to reduce the amount of the filling, or make a third wrap.

*Beige or Red Blocks are the ideal option as they have the most savoury veg flavour, but any will work (if you don't have any Red or Beige Blocks, use Rainbow or Green as analternative).
