Eggs 3 large
Shredded cheddar cheese 30 grams
Salsa 2 tbsp (30g)
Olive oil 1 tsp (5ml)

Method

Prepare your ingredients. Gather all your ingredients and have them ready. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them well with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Tip: Whisking the eggs thoroughly will help make them fluffy when cooked.
Heat the pan and cook eggs. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once the oil is warm, pour in the whisked eggs. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue until the eggs are softly scrambled and cooked through but still moist.
Tip: Cook eggs on medium heat to avoid overcooking or browning.
Warm the tortilla. While the eggs are cooking, warm the whole wheat tortilla. You can do this by placing it in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwaving it for 15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel. This makes the tortilla more pliable and easier to roll.
Tip: Be careful not to overheat the tortilla or it will become brittle.
Assemble the burrito. Place the warm tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon the scrambled eggs onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot eggs so it melts slightly. Add 2 tablespoons of salsa on top for a fresh, tangy flavor.
Tip: Avoid overfilling to make wrapping easier.
Roll the burrito. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. Then, starting at the edge closest to you, roll the tortilla tightly away from you, keeping the filling inside. Make sure the burrito is wrapped firmly to hold everything together.
Tip: Use your fingers to tuck in the filling as you roll for a neat burrito.

Pro tips

Use a non-stick pan to prevent eggs from sticking and to make cleaning easier.
For extra flavor, add diced avocado or cooked bacon inside the burrito.
