Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh salsa, for serving
- Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them lightly, and pour into the skillet. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring gently until the eggs are scrambled and just set. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
- Assemble the burritos by laying out the tortillas and placing a generous scoop of scrambled eggs in the center of each. Top with the sautéed vegetables and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Serve the burritos on a rustic wooden board with a side of fresh salsa and a sprig of cilantro for a charming, farmhouse touch.
Helpful Tips
- Adding Protein: For a protein boost, add black beans or cooked quinoa to the vegetable mix.
- Spice It Up: Add a touch of cumin or chili powder to the vegetables while sautéing for an extra flavor kick.
- Storage: Wrap each burrito in foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to warm through.
- Ingredient Substitutions: Feel free to use any vegetables you love, such as mushrooms, spinach, or cherry tomatoes.
