Breakfast Burrito

2013 Kids Recipe Challenge winning recipe: 2nd Place!

Jaimie, from Brantford, loves to help make this recipe – especially cracking the eggs!  

Make the egg mixture the night before so all that needs to be done is a warm up in the microwave and wrap in a tortilla to head out to school or work. A great start to anyone’s day.
