Spinach and egg breakfast burritos are stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, salsa, and spinach. Four wholesome fresh ingredients wrapped in a light tortilla. It's so simple and so delicious! Spinach egg burritos are light on calories but big on flavor and nutrients. They are an easy and healthy breakfast idea that the whole family can enjoy.
I never thought I'd say this, but there was a time that I was sick of eating bagel sandwiches for breakfast.
As delicious as a hot NY style bagel piled high with pork roll, egg, and cheese is, it can be very filling, sometimes too filling and not so good for the waistline. Especially when you're coming out of the winter slump and getting ready for summer.
So my family and I have made the switch to this spinach and egg breakfast burrito, a much more healthy breakfast recipe!
It's stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, salsa, and spinach. Four wholesome fresh ingredients wrapped in a light tortilla. Ready in less than 10 minutes.
Fast, easy, healthy and delicious!
And you don't have to eat them only for breakfast. Craving a breakfast-for-dinner kind of night? These spinach and egg burritos are a great choice, alongside crispy bacon and fresh fruit.
Make It Kid-Friendly
To make a spinach and egg breakfast, kid-friendly, make it with diced tomatoes instead of salsa.
Tear the spinach into small pieces so they are less likely to have texture issues with it. And disguise it with lots of cheddar cheese!
Ingredients
To make this appetizing and satisfying spinach egg burrito, you only need 5 ingredients:
- Tortilla wraps

Step-By-Step Directions
They are made in 2 steps:

My husband and my son loved these burritos. I did not have cheddar cheese so I used American cheese slices 2 of them when I was scrambling the eggs. Then I added some shredded mozzarella cheese with spinach and tomatoes at the end. My son asked me to make more and freeze them since he has no time to cook in the morning. This is going to be great help! Thanks
