California Chicken Breakfast Burrito
Description
This burrito begins with cubed chicken breast cooked in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper until golden, then set aside. Onions, garlic, and red bell pepper are cooked in the same pan until tender. The eggs, whisked with half and half, are cooked gently in butter to form soft curds, seasoned to taste.
Assembly involves layering the chicken, vegetables, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, diced tomato, spinach, and avocado in the center of each large flour tortilla. The tortillas are folded in sides and rolled tightly to contain the filling. Hot sauce can be added to taste when serving.
