Step-by-step instructions

Recipe tips & variations
- Make it spicy: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a bit of heat.
- Go veggie-heavy: Throw in some chopped bell peppers or spinach for added nutrients.
- Add protein: Include some cooked sausage or bacon crumbles for a meatier option.
- Cheese options: Swap cheddar with pepper jack or feta for different flavors.
Storage & reheating
If you find yourself with extra servings, simply store the burrito bowls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For reheating, I like to microwave the bowl for about a minute, stirring halfway through. Just make sure to add any fresh toppings after reheating to keep them crisp!
FAQs
Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?
Absolutely! If you’re looking for a lower-fat option, feel free to use egg whites. Just add an extra egg white or two to match the volume.
How can I make it dairy-free?
Swap the butter with olive oil or a non-dairy alternative, and use a dairy-free cheese option, or skip the cheese altogether.
What other toppings can I add?
You can top your burrito bowl with some fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or even a dollop of sour cream. Let your taste buds guide you!
