For freezing, wrap tightly with foil and freeze for up to 3 months.

When reheating, you can use the oven or microwave:
– Oven: Place in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes or until warmed through. For a crisp exterior, toast in a dry skillet over medium heat on all sides.
– Microwave: Unwrap the burritos, place on a plate, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. To add a crispy exterior, transfer to a dry pan over medium heat.

These breakfast wraps are a delicious take on the spinach and feta wraps from Starbucks. Here are a few key points about this recipe:

  • Inspiration: The recipe is inspired by the spinach and feta wraps sold at Starbucks.
  • Protein-Packed: These wraps are loaded with protein, thanks to ingredients like eggs, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and feta.
  • Egg Choice: While Starbucks uses only egg whites in their wraps, this recipe opts for whole eggs. However, you can customize it by using only egg whites if you prefer.
  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Sun-dried tomatoes add a burst of flavor without making the tortilla soggy, making them the perfect choice for this recipe.
  • Tomato Experimentation: Fresh and canned tomatoes were experimented with, but they tended to make the tortilla soggy, especially when making the wraps ahead of time.

Overall, these wraps offer a flavorful and protein-rich breakfast option, and the use of sun-dried tomatoes ensures that the tortilla stays deliciously intact. Enjoy your homemade version inspired by Starbucks!

Elevate your breakfast game with these delicious easy breakfast burritos featuring eggs, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and feta cheese.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil or butter
  • 1/4 cup 70 grams sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup packed fresh spinach leaves
  • 4 large eggs see notes for substituting egg white
  • 1/4 cup 1 ounce crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 large flour tortillas 8-inches or larger in diameter
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparing the Filling:

  • In a medium non-stick pan over medium-low heat, warm the oil or melt the butter. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until they are warmed through and fragrant for about 30 seconds.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk until well blended.
  • Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Immediately use a silicone spatula to create small circles, allowing the eggs to slightly thicken with very small curds forming, approximately 30 seconds.
  • Introduce the spinach leaves, transitioning from circular motions to long sweeps across the pan. Continue until larger, creamy curds develop, and the spinach wilts and turns bright green, around 20 seconds.
  • Once the eggs are softly set with slight runniness, remove the pan from heat. Allow it to rest for a few seconds to complete the cooking process. Give a final stir and proceed to assemble the burritos.

Assembling the Burritos:

  • Place the tortillas on a flat work surface. Spoon half of the egg and spinach mixture down the center of each tortilla. Distribute the cheese evenly, scattering it on top of the eggs.
  • Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, tightly roll the end closest to you around the filling, and press any loose bits back into the middle of the burrito. Place the burrito seam-side down.

Make-Ahead Burritos:

  • Wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Alternatively, tightly wrap each burrito individually in foil and place them in a resealable freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat frozen burritos, unwrap, place on a microwavable plate, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for one minute. Flip and microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the center is hot. Enjoy immediately, or for a crunchy exterior, follow the directions for toasted burritos below.

Toasting the Burritos:

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down into the hot pan and toast until the underside is lightly browned and crisp, taking approximately 20 to 60 seconds. Rotate the burrito and repeat on all sides.
