Chile Quinoa Breakfast Burritos
Spicy Avocado and Orange Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup salsa
- 4 eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk
- ⅛ tsp salt
- Nonstick cooking spray
- ½ cup shredded Mexican four-cheese blend (2 oz)
- 1 (7-oz) can whole green chile peppers, drained
- 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- Pickled jalapeño slices and/or chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a small saucepan bring the water and quinoa to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 10 to 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stir in salsa.
- In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, and salt. Coat an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium. Pour in egg mixture; cook, without stirring, until mixture begins to set. Continue cooking, lifting and folding egg mixture until cooked through, but still glossy.
- Cut into four portions in skillet; sprinkle with cheese. Lay whole chile peppers flat on tortillas just below centers. Top with quinoa mixture and eggs; roll up tortillas. If desired, toast burritos in a dry skillet over medium until light brown and crisp. Serve with additional salsa and jalapeño slices and/or cilantro.
