Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the red pepper and ham into small, bite-sized pieces, and shred the cheddar cheese.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are fully combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the beaten egg. Cook, stirring frequently, until the egg is scrambled and fully cooked through. Transfer the scrambled egg to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a small amount of oil if needed (or use residual oil if any). Add the diced red pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the pepper is slightly softened. Remove from heat.
- Heat the tortilla either in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warm and pliable.
- Lay the warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Layer the scrambled egg, brown rice, sautéed red pepper, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese down the center of the tortilla.
- Spoon the salsa sauce over the top of the fillings.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the fillings.
- Roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up, ensuring the fillings stay tucked inside as you roll.
- For a more cohesive and warm burrito, you can heat it. Place the rolled burrito back in the skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and golden.
- Slice the burrito in half if desired and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Prepare all your ingredients beforehand for a smoother cooking process.
- Warm your tortilla in a skillet or microwave to make it more pliable for wrapping.
- Use low heat while scrambling the eggs to ensure they stay soft and creamy.
- Feel free to customize your burrito with additional ingredients like avocado, spinach, or onions.
- For a spicier kick, add a little hot sauce or jalapeños to your salsa.
With minimal prep and cook time, this breakfast burrito is a fantastic option for busy mornings. Packed with protein and flavor, it will keep you satisfied and energized throughout the day. Enjoy your delicious creation, and don't hesitate to get creative with your ingredients to make it your own!
