The New Year is all about trying things new and fresh.  Many of those at home and in our Kids Eat Smart Clubs will be looking to start the New Year off with some new healthy choices for breakfast.  This recipe is a nutritious way to start your day and can easily be included in your breakfast routine.  When serving at your KES Club be sure to check for egg allergies before adding to your menu.

Breakfast Burrito

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/2 small red pepper, diced
• pinch each salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 small tortilla

Directions

Whisk eggs, milk, green pepper, salt and pepper in small bowl.  Spray skillet with cooking spray.  Heat skillet over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.  Pour in egg mixture and immediately reduce heat to medium-low. As eggs begin to set, gently move spatula across bottom and side of skillet to form large, soft curds. Cook until eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, but the eggs are not dry.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Spoon the eggs in the center of the tortilla and top with salsa. Fold up the bottom and then the sides to enclose filling.
