Easy Spinach and Feta Breakfast Burritos

How to Make Breakfast Burritos in 15 Minutes or Less

These easy breakfast wraps are inspired by the spinach and feta wraps sold at Starbucks. They are loaded with protein and taste incredible thanks to flavorful sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and feta.

In the Starbucks version, only egg whites are used, while in our recipe you’ll see that we call for whole eggs. This is a personal choice and you can absolutely make an egg white only burrito if you’d prefer.

Until these burritos, sun-dried tomatoes were not really something we cooked with. I’m not sure why, but they just hadn’t made it into our repitoire.

We experimented with fresh tomatoes and canned tomatoes, but found that they made the tortilla soggy, especially if we planned to make them ahead of time. After some more experimentation, we discovered that sun dried tomatoes are the perfect addition to these burritos. They are full of flavor and don’t turn the tortilla into a soggy mess!

Easy Spinach and Feta Breakfast Wraps

You only need about 15 minutes to make the burritos. Here’s the basic process:

  1. Warm sliced sun-dried tomatoes in a non-stick skillet.
  2. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble them — here’s our in-depth tutorial for making the best scrambled eggs.
  3. Just as the eggs are finishing cooking, stir in baby or torn spinach leaves so that they wilt into the eggs.
  4. Divide the egg between large tortillas, add feta cheese, and roll up.
  5. [Optional] Toast the filled breakfast burritos in a dry pan.

How to Roll a Burrito

The first time I made burritos at home, I needed to google how to fold them so that they don’t fall apart on the first bite ? Here’s what seems to work best:

  1. Lay the tortilla — we like 9-inch tortillas or larger — down onto a flat work surface.
  2. Spoon the burrito filling down the center of the tortilla, lengthwise. Leave 3 to 4 inches of space around the edges.
  3. Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, and then tightly roll the end closest to you up and around the filling, pushing any bits that fall out back into the middle of the burrito.
  4. Place seam-side down and enjoy, wrap with foil if you plan to freeze them or if you are eating them straight away, transfer to a warm skillet to toast the outside of the tortilla (my favorite).

For homemade tortillas, we highly recommend that you take a look at our favorite soft flour tortillas recipe!

Make Ahead Tips

These are perfect for making ahead and can be refrigerated or frozen.

  • To refrigerate, wrap tightly and store in the fridge up to 3 days.
  • To freeze, wrap tightly with foil and freeze up 3 months.

To reheat the burritos, place them into a 350 degrees F oven for about 15 minutes or longer until warmed all the way through. For a crisp exterior, toast the reheated burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat on all sides.

A quicker option is to use a microwave. Unwrap the burritos, place onto a plate, and cover with a paper towel or clean dish cloth. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes. This will cause the tortillas to soften a bit more than when reheated in the oven. When the burritos are warmed throughout, add them to a dry pan over medium heat to revive the tortilla and add a crispy exterior.

Packed with scrambled eggs, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and feta cheese, these healthier breakfast burritos are the perfect hand-held breakfast. These can be made ahead of time and can be kept in the freezer for a quick breakfast another day.

Makes 2 burritos

You Will Need

2 teaspoons olive oil or butter

1/4 cup (70 grams) sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped

1 cup packed fresh spinach leaves

4 large eggs, see notes for substituting egg white

1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese

2 large flour tortillas (8-inches or larger in diameter)

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  • Make Filling
  • 1Warm oil or melt the butter in a medium non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook until warmed through and fragrant, about 30 seconds.

    2Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk until well blended.

    3Pour the eggs into the skillet and immediately use a silicone spatula to swirl in small circles around the pan, without stopping, until the eggs look slightly thickened and very small curds begin to form, about 30 seconds.

    4Add the spinach leaves, and then change from making circles to making long sweeps across the pan until you see larger, creamy curds and the spinach starts to turn bright green and wilts; about 20 seconds.

    5When the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, remove the pan from the heat and leave for a few seconds to finish cooking. Give a final stir and assemble burritos.

  • Assemble Burritos
  • 1Place tortillas down onto a flat work surface. Spoon half of the egg and spinach mixture down the center of each tortilla. Divide the cheese between each burrito and scatter it on top of the egg.

    2Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, and then tightly roll the end closest to you up and around the filling, pushing any bits that fall out back into the middle of the burrito. Place the burrito seam-side down.

  • Make Ahead Burritos
  • 1Wrap and refrigerate up to 3 days or tightly wrap each burrito individually in foil, and then place into a resealable freezer bag or container. Freeze up to 3 months.

    2To reheat frozen burritos, unwrap the burrito, place onto a microwavable plate, cover with a paper towel and microwave for one minute, flip and microwave another 1 to 2 minutes or until the center is hot. Enjoy immediately or add a crunchy exterior by following the directions for toasted burritos below.

  • Toasted Burritos
  • 1Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down into the hot pan and toast until the underside is lightly browned and crisp, 20 to 60 seconds. Rotate the burrito and repeat on all sides.

    My husband just loved these burritos. Thanks for the recipe. I found you about 3 weeks ago, I made your awesome, incredible, super, absolute delicious blueberry muffins. I love the tip about 1-2 tablespoons of water in each cup for uniform baking. Yahoo! I always make a double batch because “8 is not enough!” In this time, I have baked those yummy muffins 5 times. My husband’s co-workers scream and yell for them. One day he forgot the 2 containers with 24 of them. He called me at his break and said: “Come right away and bring those muffins, as they have been in a bad mood because since I forgot them”! The moment I arrived to put in his car, the boss yelled to say I had arrived, and get them fast so we will all take lunch now.
