30 min total 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped seeded serrano pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 6 whole-wheat tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add serrano and paprika; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add spinach; cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set, about 5 minutes,

  3. 3

    To assemble burritos, place each tortilla on a sheet of foil. Add ½ cup scrambled eggs to the bottom half of the tortilla, then divide cheese evenly (about 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon per burrito). Roll snugly, tucking in the ends as you go. Wrap tightly in the foil and freeze for up to 3 months.

  4. 4

    To reheat, unwrap a burrito and transfer to a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel and microwave on Medium (or 50% or Defrost) for 1 to 2 minutes. Microwave on High until heated through, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, bake foil-wrapped burritos at 375°F until heated through, about 25 minutes.)
