Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 5 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 oz fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 3 handfuls fresh spinach
  • 1/2 bell pepper chopped
  • 1/4 red onion chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 5 eggs
  • 5 whole wheat tortillas room temperature
  • pinch salt + pepper to season

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium skillet and 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Saute the bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms until softened about 4-5min. Add handfuls of spinach until wilted and remove from heat.

  2. In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-low heat. Whisk eggs and add to pan. Scramble over medium-low heat until done. I like mine lighter and creamier so I don't cook as long. 

  3. Let the vegetable mixture and eggs sit until cool. This will help your burritos hold together and avoid being soggy.

  4. Once ingredients are cooled, prep the burritos. Add the shredded cheese first, this will help absorb the moisture of the other ingredients. Add the vegetable mixture then eggs. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Fold the burrito tightly and repeat with the remaining four. 

  5. Individually wrap the burritos in tin foil and store side by side in a gallon size ziplock bag. This helps the burritos freeze evenly. 

  6. To heat, preheat the over to 350 degrees. Heat for 12-15 minutes and serve with mild salsa. For a quicker option, you can heat up in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. 

Recipe Notes

  • The wheat tortillas I used made fairly small burritos. However, I wanted a healthier option so I opted for whole wheat over flour. If you'd like a larger serving I'd suggest doubling the ingredients and wrapping in a burrito tortilla. 
  • Make sure your cooked ingredients are completely cooled before adding to the tortillas. This will help your burritos hold together better and also avoid being soggy. 
  • I prefer using the oven over the microwave but do whichever you prefer. I let them thaw for about 20-30 minutes while I'm getting ready and then pop them in the oven before I head out the door.
