Hi so I know many people at school wonder where I find the time to make lunch for my boyfriend and I every day. Well, the secret is that I make pretty easy stuff that travels well and that I can make the night before. Qualification number three is that it is healthy as well, of course. For example, here is what I made today:
Easy vegetarian breakfast burritos (for lunch): this is one burrito
- 1 egg or 1/4 to 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 1 large whole wheat tortilla
- 2 soy veggies sausage links
- salsa
- cumin, garlic, chili pepper
- salt
First, add a little olive oil or Pam to your small saute pan. Cook the egg, adding some salsa into the pan as well, usually 1 to 2 tablespoons and stirring it around some. If you are using a regular egg, I would scramble it first before putting it into the pan. Then I add some cumin, salt to taste, and some mexican chili powder to the egg, just a dash of each, and stir it around. Once its all scrambled up and cooked, I put it on the tortilla. Usually I use whole wheat tortillas, I found these ones at Costco that have 12 grams of fiber! Crazy. While I am cooking the egg I defrost the sausage links in the microwave, depending on the links that is like 1 minute basically. Anyways, then I chop up the veggie sausage links and put in the same pan. I cook them until they are crispy, around three minutes, if that. They seem to cook up very quickly in the little pieces. Then, I add that to the burrito and put it in a little to-go container, and voila. Do that three times and you have lunch for you and your boyfriend in under 15 minutes. Next day I just heat them up at the microwave at school, and maybe bring a little salsa for extra yumminess.
Of course, you can easily make this a much better recipe. If I had had onions last night at 11pm, I would have sauteed those as well to add. If I had my spinach as well I probably would have added that too. Maybe a little lettuce? Well that's not really in breakfast burrito style, so probably not. But they do make soy chorizo, which is delicious. so maybe I will use that next time in the burrito.
okay so I hope next time you are tired of paying way too much for Panda Express on camups, you think of my healthier alternative!
