Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 4 large large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk Use any dairy milk you prefer; low-fat milk is a lighter option.
  • Salt and pepper Season to taste.

For the Filling

  • 1 cup cooked lean meat (such as turkey or chicken) (about 150–160 g)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) (about 113 g)

For Assembly

  • 4 large flour tortillas Use large tortillas (8–10 inch); gluten-free options are available.
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, or sour cream

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/2 cup milk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the egg mixture. Stir gently until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
  • Stir in 1 cup of cooked lean meat and 1 cup of shredded cheese until melted and combined.

Assembly

  • Lay 4 large flour tortillas flat and divide the egg mixture evenly among them.
  • Fold in the sides and roll from the bottom to create a snug burrito.

Reheating

  • To serve, reheat the burritos in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or warm in a skillet until heated through.

Notes

These burritos can be made ahead and frozen. For up to 2 months, wrap each burrito individually in foil and store in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or reheat directly from frozen.
