Protein-Packed Breakfast Burritos

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) 2% milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) minced garlic

  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Set aside.

Heat olive oil and garlic in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat.

Add red pepper and onion, and sauté 3–5 minutes, or until onions begin to turn translucent. Add eggs, reduce heat to medium and cook another  3–5 minutes, or until eggs are set.
