I liked this recipe as a basic to build on. I made mine healthier/easier by skipping meat using fresh spinach and cooked it throughly to get most of the moisture out. I also roast the sweet potatoes with onions in the oven at 425 for about 30 mins w/ cooking spray/parchment paper instead of frying. Hate to fry potatoes. I also used half eggs/half egg whites

I usually make some sort of breakfast burritos every Sunday to freeze for the week, and this is a great one to use! The spinach made it too wet after you freeze and then microwave it, so I’d probably leave it out and add fresh greens after microwaving.

YUM..followed instructions but kept ingredients separate in container instead of making them all at one time.

A nice base, the recipe leaves a lot of room for customisation. I replaced the turkey bacon with ham, because I cannot find turkey bacon. Please use tortillas, not the wraps. The wraps aren’t flexible enough to stay in a one piece, I learned in a hard way. Other than that, definitely will use this recipe again. Perfect if you are a student.
