Breakfast Burritos with Spicy Grilled Pineapple

 
These are extremely versatile.  So, feel free to adjust the ingredients according to what you like or have on hand. 
 
Ingredients:
  • 3-5 Eggs (depending on how many people you're feeding)
  • Splash of milk (few TBSP)
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (or more as needed)
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1/2 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup diced potato (half a medium potato)
  • 1.5 cups sliced crimini mushrooms (about 9 mushrooms)
  • 1/4 c queso fresco
  • 3-4 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1-1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt (or to taste) + black pepper (I'm in love with pink salt!)
  • For garnish: salsa, hot sauce, shredded cheese, green onion, sour cream, etc.

Directions:
  1. Beat the eggs and milk with a whisk
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet with 1 tsp oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper for a few minutes over medium heat. Add in the diced potato and mushrooms and sauté for 12 minutes, reducing heat if necessary and stirring frequently so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  3. Pour eggs on top, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking on low until potato and egg is cooked through.
  4. Add a scoop of the mixture on a large tortilla wrap, spoon on salsa, and top with shredded cheese and chopped green onion if desired.

These are really good paired with my spicy grilled pineapple (see below).
