Breakfast Burrito

This year we are home for the February vacation and enjoying getting a few things done around the house. Since I have the kids (all day!!!) I have been looking for some different breakfast and lunch options. Options that hopefully, that they will help prepare.

We are big lover's of burritos in my family so when I saw this recipe on Martha Stewart's website I decided to give it a try. It was met with a thumbs up from the kids...and the grown-ups.

Omelet Burrito with Jack Cheese and Salsa

serves 1


1 tablespoon butter

3 large eggs

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (I used 1/4 cup)

1/2 cup tomato salsa (fresh is the best)

Several sprigs cilantro

1 12-inch flour tortilla

Avocado slices, optional


Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Whisk eggs, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into pan; cook, whisking constantly and shaking pan vigorously until eggs begin to set but are still quite loose. Stop whisking; continue to cook until almost completely set, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, depending on desired consistency. Sprinkle cheese over eggs; spoon salsa down center of eggs. Reduce heat; let stand until cheese is completely melted. Scatter cilantro over filling.

Slide omelet out of pan, centering it over tortilla. Roll up tortilla, burrito style, and serve with avocado slices on the side.
