Easy Healthy Recipes: Breakfast Burrito

If you are like me, I am always looking for easy healthy recipes that can make my day easier while being healthier at the same time. Here is a great recipe for a very healthy breakfast burrito that will give you that boost of energy you need in the morning and hold you through until lunch time.



Let's face it... every one of us faces that dilemma on occasion. You know what I'm talking about! That little argument you have with yourself in the morning when the alarm goes off. You say to yourself, "Well, if I just stopped by McDonald's/Burger King/Starbucks and grabbed breakfast this morning, I could get another 15 minutes of sleep! You know, some scientists say sleep is the most important aspect of your health! If I sleep for 15 more minutes and grab some fast food, I will actually be doing my body good!" You pat yourself on the back for doing what you know is right for you and your body.

The problem is, 6 months of you doing this only leads to more lethargy, an increased waist line, higher blood pressure, and on and on and on.

I am now going to take away ANY excuse you have to get fast food breakfast in the morning. The fact is, this recipe is more convenient, less time consuming, better tasting, and CERTAINLY better for you than any of that fast food crap you could pick up.

This is one of my favorite recipes that I ate almost every morning in high school when I wanted every extra second that was available for sleep! It is a quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast burrito. You will definitely want to bookmark this one or print it out for breakfast tomorrow morning:

Ingredients:
Eggs
Wheat Tortillas
Water/Milk
Salsa (optional)
Cheese (optional)

Recipe:
1. Crack the eggs into a microwave safe bowl (or pour the egg portions if you are using egg beaters or the equivalent).
2. Add a bit if water (or milk) to make the eggs fluffy.
3. Add the salsa (or any other ingredients you would like such as green peppers, ham, veggies, etc.)
4. I always used a fork to mix the eggs thoroughly, but you can use a whisk if you want to be all fancy-schmancy.
5. Now pop that bowl into the microwave and nuke them. Cooking times are not exact and will vary... just watch the eggs. You will want them to rise and be somewhat firm, but not overworked. In my experience it takes about 1.5-2 minutes.
6. Take the bowl out of the microwave and handle it carefully as it will be hot.
7. Scramble the eggs in the bowl.
8. Spread you tortilla out and place some cheese on the tortilla if you would like.
9. Empty the contents of the bowl onto the tortilla.
10. Now fold the tortilla into a burrito like so:

There you go! An easy and healthy breakfast... the best part about this breakfast burrito is that it travels very easily and is not a mess to take in the car with you. Just wrap the burrito with a paper towel and you will be set. No more excuses for that nasty fast food!!
