Clean Eating Breakfast Burrito

I'm all about simple. Don't get me wrong, I love a great meal that is very complex...but lets face it, I'm a busy mom and some days I'm lucky to get breakfast or lunch.  Today was one of those mornings. It turned 11:30 and I had forgotten that I'd not eaten breakfast! a HUGE no-no in clean eating. So I put my son down for his nap and ran-sacked the fridge. Eggs....check, whole wheat tortillas....check, avocado....check, clean eating salsa leftover from yesterday....check.


Breakfast Burrito sans picture...sorry!!! it was so good I forgot to take one!!!!

3 organic eggs
mozz cheese if you are eating dairy
2 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 an avocado
Clean eating salsa (recipe found HERE)

Make scrambled eggs according to your liking. Add cheese either in the eggs or just in the burrito with the other ingredients. warm up two whole wheat tortillas. Put eggs, cheese, avocado and salsa in the two tortillas. Wrap and eat.

I could eat this for Breakfast, snack, or lunch. For dinner I have a more in depth/complex recipe my husband loves. you could always add red or yellow bell peppers for a nice crunch to this as well. I followed this down with a green smoothie.

Enjoy!!!

hummm...us??

I'm a lover of wraps. . . I just am. I love the idea of putting anything I want into a wrap and having every bite taste just how I want it to!! However, eating clean does put a restriction challange into the dressings. But perhaps you can have your wrap and eat it too? Since the demise of putting ranch dressing on just about everything I put into my mouth, I've found a new love and use for HUMMUS. Hummus is great, you can make it bland, spicy, colorful, or well, bland!  I also love hummus for my family and especially kids because it is inexpensive to make, its high in fiber, and has a lot of protein. My kids love dipping things in it, and I don't even care half the time if they just suck the hummus off, because its the hummus I want them to have! Here is my personal favorite hummus recipe.


HUMMUS
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
(I've used the concentrate in a pinch)
2 Tbsp Tahini (recipe to follow)
1 clove of garlic (more if you like the flavor of garlic)
1/2 tsp salt
15 oz can chickpeas, drained and 1/4 c liquid reserved

Add ingredients, incuding the 1/4 c reserved liquid to jar in order listed and blend.
This wont be completely smooth, so blend as you will....you won't get it totally creamy.
This makes about 2 cups

TAHINI
1/4 C Olive Oil
3 C hulled and toasted sesame seeds

Add oil and seeds to jar and blend. You may have to stop and push down the sides of the blender and re-blend.
TO TOAST:
preheat oven to 350 degrees. spread sesame seeds on  pan. Toast seeds for 10-12 min. Stir seeds half way through (so at 5-6 min).

This makes about 2 cups and I keep it in the fridge for 8 weeks. You'll find that you will use the Tahini up in other clean recipes as well...don't fret. I can see the look on your face right now.....

*Recipes were taken from BLENDTEC Fresh Blends cookbook.

HOW I USE HUMMUS:

LUNCH:
I use it in wraps for the dressing. I spread it on the tortilla and then add red or yellow bell peppers, mozz cheese if I wish, spinach, tomatoes, salt and pepper.

My kids will eat the wraps too, but I put deli meat in theirs to keep them going (they love meat)

MID MORNING OR MID AFTERNOON SNACK
I also use it for just dipping vegetables. Its a great snack...you know, since we clean eaters are supposed to eat 6 times a day!

Don't love me for my skills to with lighting....

I think I wrapped this before I had more than spinach in it...not sure why.....yikes.

Eat and be well!!
