I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families yesterday. We ate a lot of food and enjoyed a quieter day catching up with one another and watching a few movies on TV. I really enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers maybe once for dinner, but then I’m ready for something new on my plate. After cooking and serving a big turkey dinner, the last thing I feel like doing the next day is spending a lot more time in the kitchen. Sometime a girl just needs a break! 😉 These Cheesy Pepper Jack & Turkey Breakfast Burritos are a quick and delicious meal that will help you use up your yummy turkey leftovers!
My husband and I are headed out for a little holiday shopping today, but when we get home I’m sure we’ll be hungry. This recipe literally only takes 5 minutes to prepare so it’s the perfect low key meal to serve your family. If you’ve got shopping, decorating or Christmas cards to write, or cookies to bake these tasty burritos are for you!
To get things cooking, beat your eggs with a dash of cream or milk, season them with a little salt and pepper and pour them into a buttered and hot skillet. Add a few handfuls of fresh baby spinach, a few cups of shredded leftover turkey and give it a good stir. Once the eggs start to come together nicely and set, add in a cup or so of freshly grated Pepper Jack cheese. Yum!
Stir the cheese in well, turn off the heat and you’re ready to fill your burritos. You can always eat this just as a scramble if you are watching your carb intake. It’s delicious that way too!
I warm my multi grain tortillas on a plate in the microwave for about 40 seconds making them soft and more pliable so I can roll them up nicely without any cracking. Take a big spoonful of the cheesy turkey and egg filling, place it in the middle of your tortilla, fold in the sides in and roll them up firmly. That’s it!
Grab a piece of fresh fruit and a glass of orange juice and you’ve got yourself one yummy meal in only 5 minutes! Now I know the title states that these are breakfast burritos, but these are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Enjoy!
