Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, crack the 7 whole eggs and add the 1/2 cup of egg whites. Whisk together until well combined.
2. Cook the Eggs:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by heating them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for about 30 seconds.
- Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface.
- Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly among the 7 tortillas, placing the eggs in the center of each tortilla.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of salsa sauce over the eggs in each tortilla.
- Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the salsa on each tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center over the filling.
- Roll the tortilla from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go, to form a secure burrito. Repeat for each tortilla.
- Serve the burritos as they are, or you can lightly toast them in a skillet for a couple of minutes on each side to make them slightly crispy.
Tips:
- To add extra flavor, consider mixing in some diced veggies such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach with the eggs before cooking.
- For added protein, include cooked sausage, bacon, or black beans in your burritos.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds before assembling the burritos to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, use a hotter salsa or add some finely chopped jalapeños to the mixture.
- Make sure to cook the eggs on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and to keep them soft and fluffy.
- To freeze for later use, wrap each burrito in aluminum foil and place them in a zip-top bag. Reheat them in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.
Salsa breakfast burritos are a versatile and delicious option for anyone looking to kickstart their day with a hearty meal.
