Mama's Protein Power Breakfast

I've been having the same breakfast almost every day for a while now and it's delicious, full of protein and totally dietician approved. Extra bonus...very portable and easy to eat in the car.

I fry up one egg, then toss in some cheese and turkey sausage crumbles (which were a recent addition as of this week, when I found this baggy of pre-cooked crumbles calling my name). While the egg is cooking I throw a taco-sized tortilla on the flame to heat up a bit.


Yummy looking scramble, rolled up into a taco. Then I wrap is up in foil.

While inside the foil something magic happens, the already warm tortilla softens a bit and becomes nice and chewy.
I wrap it in foil even when I'm eating it at home, and let it sit and steam itself for a couple of minutes.

Start to finish it takes 5 minutes to make. The rest of my family has started requesting these for breakfast as well, especially if hot sauce is involved.

This size is about max capacity for me so I feel very full after (and sometimes can't finish every bite). The protein gives me a nice morning and boost and well, it's yummy!
