Easy Breakfast Burritos Recipe – How to make the best cheap budget friendly healthy homemade burrito breakfast that you can make ahead. With the video tutorial for how to cook the cheesy 3 ingredient burrito.
Easy Breakfast Burritos Recipe
This easy breakfast burritos recipe is a budget friendly meal enjoy on busy mornings and can be adapted to your tastes and dietary requirements.
You can even meal prep the wraps ahead of time, allow them to cool, wrap them in parchment paper, plastic wrap or pop them in an airtight container in the fridge to then quickly reheat on the stove or in the microwave for your most important meal of the day.
The easy recipe also freezes well, just pop into a freezer bag and remember to label and date your freezer meals to safely enjoy your frozen breakfast burritos at a later date on the stove, microwave or in a toaster oven.
The 3 Healthy Ingredients
In this instance I used only 3 simple Ingredients to create the perfect breakfast burrito –
Wraps – I keep a look out for when the ones we like are on sale and buy heaps of them to keep in the pantry for when we want burritos. (Or other meals with wraps!)
You can you regular flour tortillas or easily make gluten free, low carb or keto diet friendly breakfast burritos by buying diet appropriate wraps which are easy to come by these days. (Here are some options on Amazon.)
Eggs – you can whisk just eggs or add in cream or milk, salt, pepper or any other seasoning you usually include in scrambled eggs.
For the eggs you could of course swap scrambled eggs for already hard boiled eggs that you simply peel and slice for an almost instant breakfast. Or you could make an omelette or fried eggs that you pop into the burritos instead.
Grated Cheese – I just used one type of grated cheese, but you could swap in your favorite cheese or include a combination of cheese options in the cheese burritos such as cheddar cheese, mozarella cheese or parmesan cheese.
The whole amazing breakfast comes together in just 1-2 minutes, depending on the fillings you choose. For best results, just be careful not to overfill the wraps so that they are easy to fold over and make into the perfect burritos.
