Since moving to Texas, I’ve fallen in love with the breakfast taco and all of its many possibilities. But these Best Breakfast Burritos by ever-entertaining TK member Bev Weidner caught my eye because of the beautiful mound of spinach on top. That is not something I’ve tried before and I decided it was time. But what is great about these is that they are really your canvas to throw on whatever you love—that’s what makes them delicious.

You will need: olive oil, spinach, egg, tortilla, shredded cheese, hot sauce, salt and pepper, and cilantro or other herbs to garnish. (Plus I added a little something extra that you’ll see later, because I couldn’t help it. That’s just how it goes with these.)

Sprinkle some cheese on a tortilla and pop it in the microwave for about 10 seconds.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and let the spinach wilt for about 1-2 minutes. Give it a little sprinkle of salt and pepper as you do.

Place it in a nice pile onto your warm tortilla.

Then, remove the pan from the heat and crack your egg into it.

I like this method because if the pan is cool enough, you can scramble it without having to whisk it in a bowl first. No extra dirty dishes!

Add the cooked egg to your warm tortilla.

Then, because I couldn’t help myself, I added avocado. Because I need to. But you can do what moves you.

I overstuffed it, I know. But that’s what napkins are for.

Have 2 minutes in the morning? Make your face AND your belly happy with this one.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 whole Whole Wheat Tortilla
  • ¼ cups Shredded Aged Cheddar
  • 1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
  • 1 pinch Coarse Salt And Freshly Ground Pepper

Preparation Instructions

Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add spinach to wilt, 2 minutes, if that. Remove spinach from the pan.

Add egg to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, mix to combine, put it back on the heat and scramble for maybe a minute.

This was excellent! We had it for dinner tonight and everyone raved about it. I sauted the spinach in oil and a clove of chopped garlic and served a pico de gallo salsa on top. YUM!

Yum! I try to make breakfast for the week for us and have tried a lot of recipes (http://lollingabout.wordpress.com/category/foodie-friday/breakfast-foodie-friday/) but still have yet to do a breakfast burrito. I need to, because my husband would be THRILLED.
