Ingredients
  

  • 3 flour tortillas
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 cup pre-cooked potatoes cubed

  • In the same pan, add your eggs and scramble, for about 10 minutes. Once ready, set aside.
  • Begin assembling your burritos with cheese, eggs, chicken, tomatoes, and spinach, and roll until neatly tucked inside.
  • Toast your burrito in a toaster or pan until golden brown.

Notes

When making these burritos, it’s important to fill the burrito. More filling will really bring out the flavors of the ingredients and make for a delicious breakfast.
Another great way to ensure the best-tasting burrito is to always place the cheese as the bottom layer. This will let the cheese melt and make the overall burrito taste delicious!
A great way to make this healthier is to opt for fiber-rich ingredients like black beans and grilled vegetables. Another way is to choose a different type of tortilla other than a classic white variety. Spinach-rich tortilla or a chickpea flour tortilla are great alternatives.
