On-the-Go Breakfast Wrap

I’m not a huge fan of filling breakfasts, but my kids are. Especially my daughter Jasmine. And on top of that, she’s a carb-lover. Anything with a tortilla, pasta bread or potatoes – she loves, which is why she really likes this for breakfast. Anyway, I can’t tell you how many times I sent her out the door to school with a breakfast burrito/wrap, knowing that it will keep her satisfied for hours.

On-the-Go Breakfast Wrap

Recipe for two:
2 potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
6 beaten eggs
2 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 c shredded or sliced sharp cheddar cheese
a couple splashes olive oil
a little butter
garlic/onion powder
a little Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
*optional – cooked bacon, sausage, ham, zucchini, onion – anything you want. ; )

• Heat olive oil in medium pan and then add potatoes
• Cook for about 5-10 minutes, adding a bit of salt and pepper
• When they start to brown a little, add a little water and cover. Then cook on low until tender.
• In another pan, on medium heat – add a little butter. Add the eggs (before the butter starts to brown).
• After a couple minutes add the potatoes and the cheese. I like the eggs to be almost scrambled before I add the potatoes so that it doesn’t get all mushed together.
• If you want to add pieces of sausage, ham or bacon, etc., toss that in with the potatoes as well. Of course they should be cooked prior to adding them.
• Now you’re ready to wrap in a steamed tortilla. TRICK for steaming: Pour a couple inches of water in a small pot. Cover top with tin foil and then poke tiny little holes in it with a knife or fork. Boil the water and the steam should come through the holes. Now just lay the tortilla on top of the foil – about 30 seconds on each side. This is a great trick for wrapping anything with a tortilla as it warms them and also makes them moist so they don’t tear when you’re wrapping.
• Next, just spoon the egg and potatoe mixture in the center of the torilla and fold one side over the top. Then fold the bottom up toward the middle. Now roll the folded half toward the unfolded until it’s wrapped.
• I like to take a piece of tin foil and wrap the bottom – especially for kids – so that it doesn’t unravel.

Serving suggestion: This is a meal in itself, so just take it with you and eat it!
