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)

Directions
Line 2-cup microwave-safe cereal bowl with microwave-safe paper towel. Press tortilla into the bowl. Crack egg into the center of the tortilla and beat egg gently with a fork to blend. Microwave on high 30 seconds; stir and microwave 15 to 30 seconds more until egg is almost set.
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.
