Choosing the Right Ingredients

Best Tortilla Options

The foundation of any great [5-Minute Morning Burrito] is the tortilla itself. For best results, choose medium-sized (8-10 inch) flour tortillas, which offer the perfect balance of flexibility for wrapping and substance for holding ingredients. Whole wheat tortillas provide additional fiber, while low-carb options work well for keto diets. Corn tortillas, while delicious, tend to crack when rolled quickly, making them less ideal for this speedier method.

Protein Selections

Protein keeps you full throughout the morning, making it an essential component of your [5-Minute Morning Burrito]. Eggs are classic (and cook quickly), but don't overlook these alternatives:

• Pre-cooked bacon or breakfast sausage (can be batch-cooked on weekends)
• Leftover rotisserie chicken shredded into small pieces
• Canned black beans or refried beans (protein + fiber combo)
• Tofu scramble (prep in advance for plant-based options)
