During the week I eat a very, very light breakfast. But sometimes on the weekend I like to have a nice, hot breakfast to wake me up. This breakfast burrito isn't as heavy as some, either. So it isn't all that bad for you. Of course, I was much more interested in flavor thank in keeping it healthy. So I used sausage & cheese in mine!
I started by filling a whole wheat tortilla with some Muenster cheese, spicy brown mustard, hot sauce, and green onion slices. The Muenster cheese is sort of nutty, and the spicy mustard will definitely help wake you up by opening your sinuses. The little crunch & bite from green onions, coupled with a dash of hot sauce, and you've got yourself the perfect pick-me-up compliment to a steaming cup of coffee. And I thought it looked pretty cool too!
Next I slit a Polish sausage down the middle and got a hard sere on both sides. Then I added that to the tortilla above, and wrapped it up tight. It helps if you fold the ends in first, and then wrap. That way it will help ensure that your ingredients don't ooze out the sides.
Cook the whole thing in a non-stick skillet to melt everything together. It will also crisp up your tortilla, which will add a nice textural contrast to this handy little breakfast.
You could easily add some eggs to this burrito to make it much more filling. But I was just having a wrap for breakfast ... not making an egg dish. That's why I said it wasn't all that heavy. I thought I was showing a little restraint. ;-)
