I'm not normally a breakfast person. Mainly because of the lack of time. I know I could get up a lot earlier and make myself something but I'd rather an extra half hour's sleep over a healthy nutritious breakfast any day. Crazy, huh? I have been eating a lot healthier though and enjoy a lovely bowl of muesli every morning.
Weekends are a different story. I have a family of late sleepers so breakfast could turn into brunch and we have all the time in the world to prepare something a little more exciting. I'm trying to watch my fat intake so thought of doing a breakfast burrito but added some Spanish influenced ingredients. (Well, just whatever I had in the fridge and called it a "Spanish" breakfast burrito.)
Spanish Breakfast Burrito
- tortilla or wrap
- 1 x egg, scrambled (seasoned with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of paprika)
- mushrooms, sauteed
- cheese, grated
- stuffed olives, sliced
- chargrilled capiscum (bell peppers), sliced
- BBQ sauce
- Starting with the scrambled egg, pile all ingredients into the centre of the wrap/tortilla.
- Fold up from the bottom, then fold over the left, then the right.
- Alternatively, you could roll up and toast in a sandwich press for a minute for a crispy finish.
- You could add bacon, chorizo, sausage, onions, spinach, tomatoes, salsa, dips, spreads, whatever you like.
Now that's my sort of hot breakfast. Yummmmmm.
ReplyDeleteAnne, now that's a great way to start a morning! LOVE the addition of the olives!

I don't like making breakfast but I love breakfast foods. So, we have some sort of breakfast dish for dinner once a week!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, it is nice to try something different to the usual. It sounds very tasty.
ReplyDeleteThat looks yum! My hubby might start coming to have breakfast at your place ;)
ReplyDeleteYum! What a great idea! My kids love wraps - imagine their delight when I serve them up for breakfast!

ReplyDeleteHello, this looks lovely, and the olives would be very yummy in there. I am so envious of your late sleepers... poor me!! I've had 15 years of early risers. 6am this morning... I always have a big and usually healthy breakfast... it's easy when you're up so early. How much I'd prefer to sleep in!!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast burritos are such a great way to start the day! I wish I had more time in the morning to make them during the week, too!

I’m not really a breakfast person too, but I will never ever say no if it's a Mexican dish that is being offered on the table. For me, a burrito is one of best options for breakfast because it has all the carbs and protein I need to keep me going. It's also a kind of take-away food so I can eat while hailing a taxi cab or waiting for the train. =)
