Hearty Egg Burritos

Chef’s Notes Add color and flavor with a fresh salsa. Mix chopped fresh or canned tomatoes, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro. Add a pinch of ground cumin for heat. For a different flavor, use Monterey Jack or colby cheese instead of cheddar. Compare labels for sodium/ saturated fat and look for no trans fat when selecting whole wheat tortillas. Steam, sauté, or grill a mix of veggies. Add to burritos. If you double the recipe, do not double cumin. Use 1 Tablespoon dried cilantro instead of fresh cilantro, if you like. Burritos can be frozen for up to one week. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, cover with aluminum foil, and freeze. To reheat, remove foil and plastic. Microwave 1½–2 minutes, turning as needed. Or, remove plastic wrap and re-cover in aluminum foil. Heat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 300°F for about 6 minutes.
