Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach
Assembly
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers, red onion, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and aromatic.
- Wilt the spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
- Cook the eggs: Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the empty side and scramble gently, stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
- Combine and season: Mix the scrambled eggs thoroughly with the sautéed vegetables. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave them for a few seconds until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the burritos: Evenly distribute the egg and vegetable mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each, then roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito shape.
- Serve or store: Enjoy the burritos warm immediately, or wrap them tightly in foil to store for later. To reheat, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or warm in an oven preheated to 350°F for 15 minutes.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add salsa or hot sauce to the filling before rolling the burritos.
- These burritos can be made ahead of time, wrapped tightly, and frozen for up to 2 months for convenient meal prepping.
- To reheat from frozen, microwave for 1-2 minutes or warm in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes until heated through.
