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.

My husband was sad when we ran out of these! They were so so good. We also used a green tortilla which I think my husband liked better.
