Description

Weekday mornings used to be all about rush and chaos—until these burritos entered the scene. Inspired by my dad’s Saturday morning skillet breakfasts, this wrap captures those same cozy, savory flavors in a quick, handheld version. Packed with protein, fiber, and flavor, it’s a wholesome breakfast you can enjoy on-the-go or slow down with. Make-ahead friendly and freezer-approved, it’s the kind of breakfast that sets the tone for a great day.
