This morning I was surprised by my little sister coming to visit! She’s been in town for a few days but we haven’t gotten the chance to meet up. Lucky for her, I had planned to make some breakfast burritos for brunch.
Breakfast burritos are one of my all-time favorite dishes, no matter what time of day it is. They are easy to make, protein-rich, filling, and you can vary ingredients each time and still get an incredible meal.
Today, I added kale, white onion, and minced garlic – and then my usual refried beans, sour cream, and salsa. And of course, cheese – I used shredded cheddar and jack with these burritos.
Ingredients:
- Butter, for pan
- Scrambled eggs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons 1% milk
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Dash of paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Veggies
- One stalk of kale, stripped and chopped
- 1/4 white onion, diced
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1/8 refried beans, per tortilla
- 2 tablespoons salsa, per tortilla
- 1 tablespoon sour cream, per tortilla
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese, per tortilla
Wash and prep the vegetables. Set aside.
Whisk together eggs, milk, paprika, pepper, salt, and shredded cheese in a small bowl. Set aside.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, sauteeing until onions are translucent and fragrant and the garlic is starting to brown, about 2 minutes.
Add the kale, sauteeing very briefly (less than a minute) before adding in the eggs. The pan should be very hot. Using a spatula, stir frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan until the eggs are nearly cooked, then turn off the heat. Continue to stir and scrape for another 30 seconds.
Over low-medium heat, toast the tortillas directly on the stove, about 10-15 seconds on each side until slightly browned, one at a time.
Prep the tortillas with the beans, salsa, and sour cream. Dividing the eggs/veggies, place half in each tortilla, cover with cheese then tuck in the ends and roll.
Using the same pan used for scrambling the eggs, brown the burritos over medium heat, about 20 seconds each side, then place on a plate and enjoy!
I’m getting my tonsils out tomorrow, so this is the last solid food I’ll be having for a while, and it was the perfect way to start my Sunday – especially with a visit from my sister!
