# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It actually keeps you satisfied until lunch without that mid-morning crash.
  • You can prep the veggie mix ahead and just scramble eggs when you're ready.
  • Every bite tastes bright and fresh, not heavy or greasy like drive-through breakfast.
02 -
  • Seed the tomato or your filling will turn watery and make the tortilla soggy.
  • Remove the veggies from the pan before scrambling eggs so the eggs stay fluffy and don't overcook.
  • Warm the tortillas or they'll crack when you try to fold them.
03 -
  • Slightly undercook the eggs before adding cheese so they stay creamy when reheated.
  • Press down gently on the burrito seam in the skillet for a few seconds to seal it and crisp the outside.
  • Use a large tortilla so you have enough room to fold without tearing.
