Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup frozen hashbrowns (or freshly made)
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Hashbrowns: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen hashbrowns and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil or butter if needed and heat over medium. Add the diced bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them lightly with a fork, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still soft.
- Assemble the Burrito: Place the cooked eggs, sautéed vegetables, and crispy hashbrowns on the center of the warm tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. The heat from the eggs and veggies will help melt the cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom, securing all the fillings inside.
- Serve: Optionally, you can heat the burrito in the skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to lightly crisp up the tortilla. Slice in half and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious breakfast burrito. You can also make this ahead of time to freeze and reheat whenever you like!
Notes
Add Avocado: For extra creaminess, add slices of avocado to the burrito. It pairs wonderfully with the eggs and veggies.
Spicy Kick: Add some diced jalapeños, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of chili flakes to bring a spicy twist to the burrito.
Meat Lover’s Burrito: If you want more protein, add bacon, sausage, or chorizo to the burrito. They pair nicely with the eggs and veggies.
Vegan Option: Swap the eggs for tofu scramble and use vegan cheese or skip the cheese entirely. You can also add black beans or roasted sweet potatoes for added texture and flavor.
Re-Use Ingredients: Any leftover sauteed onions and bell peppers make a great addition to our Mediterranean Chicken with Sauteed Veggies or our Sizzling Chicken Fajitas!
