Recipe Story

Getting out the door in the morning with breakfast is always a challenge for me. Cereal gets old and I just don’t have time to make anything of substance like pancakes or an omelet. Today’s recipe, a breakfast burrito, hits all the important marks for me: • Quick (under 3 minutes total time) • Few ingredients (just four: egg, salsa, cheese, tortilla) • Easy (assemble and microwave) • Portable (hand-held to eat on the run) • Tasty (most important) • Healthy (excellent source of protein, good source of Vitamin D, folate, calcium and iron) To get the recipe and shopping list on your smartphone (iPhone, BlackBerry, Android device) or PC, click here.

Remove tortilla to a flat surface. Top egg with cheese and salsa; fold bottom of the tortilla over the egg and fold in each side.
