How to Make Healthy Breakfast Burrito
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and cook egg whites over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until set. Remove from heat.
- Spray the same skillet with cooking spray. Add diced onion and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
- Add frozen hash browns to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through and slightly crispy.
- Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce (if using).
- Add the scrambled egg whites, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
- Warm tortillas according to package directions (microwave, skillet, or oven).
- Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas.
- Roll up the burritos tightly, tucking in the sides to prevent spills.
- Place seam-side down in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the tortillas are lightly browned.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Burritos can be frozen at this stage. To reheat frozen burritos, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
