A breakfast burrito without eggs??? How can that be? Will it still taste good?
Those were the types of thoughts I had running around in my head when I was concocting this recipe. I was after something different for breakfast and wanted to use what I had around the house AND I was also out of eggs. I had purchased these low-fat herb flavored tortilla shells and wanted to try them out. So, I thought why not just use all the other ingredients except the eggs?
I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they were and ended up with a flavorful and healthy breakfast burrito that was relatively low fat. I really liked these as they are healthy and filing without being too heavy to weigh you down in the morning.
These breakfast burritos contain a filling of ham and vegetables that are healthy and filling without being too heavy to weigh you down in the morning. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper sauce for additional flavor.
