Description

Delicious breakfast burritos packed with eggs, peppers, and cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Spike seasoning
  • 10 Mission Carb Balance low-carb tortillas
  • 2 cups grated cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat some of the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat, then add diced peppers and cook until slightly soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add green chiles and Spike seasoning and cook about 2 minutes more.
  3. While peppers are cooking, break eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until whites and yolks are completely combined.
  4. Add a little more olive oil to frying pan, add beaten eggs, and immediately turn heat to low. Cook until eggs are barely set, gently stirring and scraping side of pan with a rubber scraper or turner the entire time, about 8 minutes.
  5. They should still be slightly wet-looking and not completely cooked when you turn off heat.
  6. Spray the crockery part of the Crock-Pot Casserole Crock Slow Cooker or large oval slow cooker with non-stick spray.
  7. Fill each flour tortilla with some of the egg mixture and some grated cheese in a row down the center, roll it over, and place in the casserole crock.
  8. Continue with each tortilla until you have a row of rolled burritos in the slow cooker.
  9. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and cook covered on HIGH until all the cheese is melted, about 30-45 minutes.
  10. Serve hot with salsa, sour cream, and hot sauce as desired.

Notes

  • Use a good nonstick frying pan for this recipe; I used my favorite Green Pan.
  • If you don’t have the Casserole Crock, you can warm these in a large oval slow cooker.
  • Burritos can also be warmed in a covered casserole dish in a 350F/180C oven until cheese melts.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven.
  • For best results with frozen burritos, thaw overnight in refrigerator.
  • Serve with more cheese, sour cream, and salsa as desired.
