Instructions:

Burrito with rice, peppers, avocado, eggs and salsa sauce FAQ:
Brown rice typically takes about 30-40 minutes to cook. Use a 2:1 water-to-rice ratio, simmering until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Yes, you can prepare the burrito ahead of time. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet before serving.
You can substitute brown rice with white rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Adjust cooking times accordingly based on the substitute used.
Scrambled eggs are done when they are softly set and slightly runny. Remove them from heat just before they are fully cooked, as they will continue to firm up off the heat.
A medium-sized tortilla (about 8-10 inches) is ideal for this burrito, providing enough space to wrap the fillings without breaking.
Tips:
- To save time, you can cook the brown rice the night before and store it in the refrigerator.
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices like ground cumin or chili powder to your scrambled eggs.
- Feel free to customize your burrito by adding other veggies or swapping out ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
- Use a non-stick skillet to cook the eggs to prevent them from sticking and to reduce the amount of oil needed.
- Warm your tortilla in the microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds to make it more pliable and easier to wrap.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, use hot salsa or add a few slices of jalapeño to your burrito.
