# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It's one of those rare breakfasts that actually keeps you full until lunch without feeling heavy.
  • You can wrap them in foil and eat them in the car, at your desk, or on a park bench without any guilt.
  • The veggies add crunch and sweetness that make scrambled eggs feel like a real meal, not just filler.
  • It's flexible enough to use whatever's wilting in your crisper drawer and still taste intentional.
02 -
  • Always seed the tomato or your burrito will be sitting in a puddle of juice by the time you eat it.
  • Don't skip warming the tortillas, cold tortillas crack and ruin the whole wrap experience.
  • Pull the eggs off the heat early, they keep cooking in the pan and overcooked scrambled eggs turn rubbery and sad.
03 -
  • Prep all your veggies the night before and store them in a container, so assembly in the morning takes less than ten minutes.
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, it holds heat evenly and gives the veggies a better sear without burning.
  • If you're feeding a crowd, set up a burrito bar with all the fillings in bowls and let everyone build their own, it's fun and way less stressful.
