Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I started making this burrito years ago. Not many people I know enjoy spinach. But, when I make this they eat it up. I love this for breakfast or anytime. They never last long in my house. If you don't have chunky salsa, smooth works just as well.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This breakfast burrito recipe is easy to throw together and delicious! Packed with protein, it's a good meatless breakfast option. Salsa adds a touch of spice and a ton of flavor. The eggs turn out super creamy. Filling and hearty, this breakfast burrito is great for breakfast or brunch.

How To Make marie's breakfast burrito

  • Squeeze water out of thawed frozen spinach.
    1
    Thaw spinach. Squeeze out excess water. I wrap mine in a paper towel and squeeze it.
  • Melt butter in a skillet.
    2
    Melt butter (or whatever you would like to cook your eggs in) in a pan.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl.
    3
    Mix up your eggs in a bowl until smooth.
  • Scramble the eggs.
    4
    Pour the eggs into the pan and scramble until light and fluffy.
  • Add spinach mixture, salsa, cheese, and seasonings.
    5
    Just before the eggs are completely cooked add the spinach and shredded cheddar cheese. Add 1/2 cup of chunky salsa, pepper flakes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix.
  • Heat until the cheese melts.
    6
    Heat until the cheese melts and spinach is warm. Set aside.
  • Add 1/4 of the egg mixture to a warmed tortilla.
    7
    Warm your tortilla shells in the microwave briefly. Just to make them pliable and easy to roll. Fill it with 1/4 of the egg and spinach mixture.
  • Roll like a burrito.
    8
    Roll them like you would a burrito tucking in the ends.
  • Drizzle taco sauce on top, cut in half, and heat in the microwave.
    9
    Put taco sauce on top. Cut in half and place back in the microwave to heat for about 30 seconds. Any leftovers can be wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a resealable bag. Ready to heat and eat or eat cold.
