This is a great breakfast burrito, lunch, or even a light dinner. The recipe makes 10 wraps, so it's perfect for a large gathering or a buffet brunch. You can also use 6 inch tortillas to make smaller wraps.
These wraps can also be frozen very successfully. Just let the wraps cool after assembling, then wrap each one tightly with plastic food wrap, then place in freezer bags and store in freezer until ready to enjoy.
To reheat, remove from the freezer, unwrap, and place in the microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through, or place on baking sheet in oven at low temperature of 175 for about 20 minutes.
These wraps are not only easy to make and handy to have in the freezer, they are also nutritious and healthy. I use egg whites to eliminate the cholesterol, but you don't have to if you don't want to. The equivalent is about 20 whole eggs, which gives each wrap 2 eggs; a very filling serving.
