Healthy Breakfast Burritos with Beans, Peppers, and Eggs

These healthy breakfast burritos are the perfect way to start your day. They're packed with protein and fiber, and they're easy to make ahead of time. Simply assemble the burritos in the morning and then bake them in the oven until golden brown. You can also freeze the burritos for later. When you're ready to eat, just reheat them in the oven or microwave.

I've always been a fan of breakfast burritos, but I've never been a fan of the greasy, heavy versions that are typically served at restaurants. So I decided to create my own healthy version that's just as delicious, but much better for you.
