Reinvented Breakfast Burrito Recipe
I love breakfasts. I can’t say if it is my favorite meal but it sure is one of my top 5 meals of the day.
My favorite breakfast will almost always includes eggs, cooked in one way or the other.
There are two variations I like to make for this invention. The first is burrito type. The other is quesadilla type.
I love it so much I started buying tortillas from Costco and I even manage to finish the pack before it goes bad.
What I like best about it, is that each type can have endless possibilities. So here are some suggestions.
Breakfast Burrito Omelet with Avocado, Tomatoes and Spinach
This is a very easy recipe but I will go over it step by step.
Step 1 – Make an omelet
It doesn’t get any easier than that. Just start with a regular omelet. Scramble the eggs in a bowl and add what you usually add, salt, pepper, etc.
Pour into a pan the size of a tortilla.
Step 2 – Cover with tortilla
Before the omelet is fully cooked, cover it with tortilla.
Doing that will allow the omelet to “stick” to the tortilla and become one with it.
You can cover the pan or not. Up to you.
Step 3 – Flip it over
This step can be optional. I like to heat up my tortilla so I flip it over.
I also flip it over when I add cheese and I want it to melt.
Step 4 – Add whatever you want
This is the fun part. You take the hot tortilla to a plate and start adding what you like.
This time I added avocado, spinach and cherry tomatoes cut in half.
You can add cold cuts, other vegetables or whatever looks right at the moment.
Step 5 – Enjoy
Roll your tortilla and enjoy.
Most cases I put too much stuff in it so it is hard to roll so make sure you don’t do that.
Breakfast Quesadilla With Two Eggs, Feta Cheese and Za’atar
This is very similar to the previous recipe but there are couple of things you must pay attention to.
- You start with the tortilla so make sure the pan is on a low heat. Otherwise, it will just burn the tortilla.
- You have to cover. Because there is a tortilla on the top and the bottom, there is not enough heat to cook the eggs if you don’t cover. And you can’t really flip it over until it is cooked.
Other steps are mostly the same. Remember you can have your own variation.
Step 1 – tortilla
Start by placing tortilla on a warm (not hot) plate.
Step 2 – filling
Start putting inside the pan whatever you want to be in your quesadilla. I added feta cheese, two whole egg and some Za’atar.
Step 3 – tortilla cover
Cover with the second tortilla.
Step 4 – cook
Cover the pan and let it cook slowly. It will take a few minutes because of the indirect heat and the low temperature. But don’t rush it and don’t try to flip it unless it is close to being done.
Step 5 – eat
Before you eat, let it cool off. It will be very hot.
That’s it. Obviously, as I said, there are endless possibilities.
Another favorite of mine is the shakshuka version.
