Fit Foodie Finds’ protein-packed breakfast burrito recipe is meal prep at its finest. With a whopping 27 grams of protein per serving, this savory egg-n-bacon wrap is perfect to grab before work or school! Make a few extra to store in the freezer, and pop one in the toaster oven for an easy reheat meal later in the week.

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
  • 1 red bell pepper, minced
  • 1/2 red onion, minced
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 multigrain flatbreads
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) shredded Mexican blend cheese

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.

Place 1/4 of the egg mixture and a piece of bacon on top of each flatbread. Sprinkle with cheese. Enjoy immediately, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil to take on the go.
