What a perfectly de{light}ful way to start out your morning!
With just under 250 calories in a full breakfast burrito, you can happily serve one of these along side some salsa, fresh fruit, and maybe a cup of coffee for a filling and guiltless beginning to your day.
Plus, with these being easily doubled or tripled - you could make them ahead and freeze to grab and reheat on any busy day of the week!
When making these, I decided to go with both whole eggs and egg whites. While I don't mind eating egg whites alone, the lack of color can be slightly off putting. I need to be as in love with my food visually as I am tastefully.
Tastefully... is that even a word? It must be. ...I think I need another cup of coffee!
Either way, I lightened these up with egg whites, reduced fat cheese and low carb whole wheat tortillas. I also bulked them up with plenty of peppers and onions! If you are a fat of heat, I would suggest some minced jalapeño too!
If you're not a fan of peppers, you could probably swap them out for just about any other veggie that happens to tickle your fancy. Just be sure to adjust your nutritional values accordingly!
