Ingredients for Healthy Breakfast Burrito

  • Low Carb Flour Tortillas
  • Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
  • 6 large egg whites
  • Frozen Southern Style Hash Brown Potatoes
  • Bacon Bits
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Worcestershire Sauce

How to Make Healthy Breakfast Burrito

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Spray the same skillet with cooking spray. Add diced onion and sauté until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add frozen hash browns to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through and slightly crispy.
  5. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce (if using).
  6. Add the scrambled egg whites, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Warm tortillas according to package directions (microwave, skillet, or oven).
  8. Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas.
  9. Roll up the burritos tightly, tucking in the sides to prevent spills.
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
