3. Include Protein Sources: Protein helps keep you fuller for longer, so adding some form of protein to your breakfast burrito is important. You can opt for animal sources (sausage, bacon or Canadian bacon) or go the vegetarian route with tofu or beans (black beans, black eyed peas). Eggs are also an excellent choice – try poaching them before adding to your wrap!
4. Mix and Match Herbs & Spices: Fresh seasonal herbs like basil and cilantro will add flavor complexity while spices like cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder/flakes will give your burrito an extra kicked up taste!
