My friend made some killer brekkie burritos at my book club weekend last weekend and I thought I’d make my own and see how it went. Yesterday I made it burrito style and today I made it scramble style. Stats included below!
Serves FOUR
INGREDIENTS:
1 can beans of your choice (I used kidney beans b/c I had them around but I’ll use black beans next time), drained & rinsed
1 lb bacon
4 eggs, beaten
1 avocado
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
4 tortillas (I used corn, but prefer flour)
1 & 1/3 cup low fat cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cook the bacon on a skillet or in a cast iron skillet or in the oven… however you normally prefer to cook your bacon.
- Saute the onion and red pepper in just a drizzle of olive oil.
- Heat the beans (on stovetop or in microwave). Set aside.
- Scramble your egg(s) – (I was cooking just for one person, so I used 1 egg)
- Arrange 1 egg or 1/4 of scrambled egg and 1/4 cup onion mixture on a tortilla with 2 Tbl of avocado, 1/3 cup cheese, 2 slices bacon, 1/4 cup beans. Season and enjoy!!
Stats for 1 breakfast burrito using 1 Mission super soft, large corn tortilla: 442 calories, 27g carbs, 16g fat, 23g protein
FOR SCRAMBLE:
Turns out, I really don’t prefer corn tortillas, but I don’t buy flour tortillas b/c I haven’t found a brand without hydrogenated oil in it which is a no no for how I prefer to structure my diet. SO… this morning I did a scramble instead.
Essentially I did all steps above EXCEPT… I used 1 egg and 3Tbl egg white and put my 2Tbl avocado on the side vs. cooking it all together
STATS for the scramble:
367 calories, 14g fat, 19g fat, 31g protein.
P.S. The scramble was SOOOO yummy!!
Stay tuned tomorrow for TACO SALAD… mmmmm good!!
