Equipment

Ingredients

5 large Eggs , beaten
1 large Onion , sliced
3 large Mushrooms , sliced
1 handful Spinach
1 large Tomato , sliced
½ medium Green bell pepper (Capsicum), sliced
2 slice Cheese (of your choice)
2 Flour tortillas , burrito size (homemade or store-bought)
1 tablespoon Oil
¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

Preparation

In a pan on medium heat add ½ tablespoon of oil, onions, and mushrooms until they develop color and set aside.
1 large Onion, 1 tablespoon Oil, 3 large Mushrooms
In the same pan, saute spinach for a couple of minutes or until wilted. Set aside.
1 handful Spinach

How to scramble eggs?

In the same pan add the remaining ½ tablespoon oil, add beaten eggs, and prepare a scramble. To scramble eggs, leave the eggs undisturbed for a minute after adding them to the pan. Once it sets, using a wooden spatula start stirring the eggs slowly until the eggs are no more liquid and small crumbles are formed. Do not overcook. Add broken cheese slices, season with salt and pepper, mix well, and set aside.
5 large Eggs, 2 slice Cheese, 1 tablespoon Oil, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Pepper

Warm tortillas

In a dry skillet, on medium-high heat warm up the tortillas as per package instructions. Usually, heat 15 seconds on each side.
2 Flour tortillas

Assemble burritos

To assemble, place the warm tortillas on a working surface. Add half portions of sauteed onions, mushroom and spinach, tomatoes, green bell pepper, and scrambled eggs at the center.
1 large Tomato, ½ medium Green bell pepper
Fold opposite ends of the tortilla towards the center. This prevents the filling from falling off. Roll the burrito using the free unfolded end (burrito-style). Cut into half if desired.
Breakfast Burritos are ready. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Season the ingredients at last minute with salt and pepper. Adding salt early draws out moisture and makes egg watery and burritos soggy.
Use sharp or spicy cheese for an additional kick. I personally love Pepper Jack. You can add Gouda or Cheddar too. For a mild flavor, you can even use mozzarella.
Warm your tortilla before adding fillings.
Do not overstuff the burritos, too. Otherwise, it may be difficult to roll and even break.
You can prep all the ingredients and assemble just when you are ready to eat.
Feel free to add avocado slices or guacamole.
Instead of tomatoes, you can even try peach salsa or mango salsa.
Feel free to add crispy roasted potato or sweet potato bites.'
For tangy flavor, pickled jalapenos or onions can be added.
