Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper and 1/2 cup diced yellow onion; sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Pour eggs into the same skillet over medium-low heat. Stir gently and cook for 4-5 minutes until softly scrambled and just set.
  5. Step 5: Remove eggs from heat and mix in the sautéed vegetables and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese melts slightly.
  6. Step 6: Warm 4 large flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
  7. Step 7: Fold in the sides and roll up each tortilla tightly into a burrito. Wrap individually in foil for make-ahead storage or serve immediately.
