# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It keeps you full for hours without that sluggish, too-full feeling.
  • You can prep the veggie mix the night before and just scramble eggs in the morning.
  • Every bite tastes different depending on how you fold it, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • Seed the tomato or your burrito will leak and get soggy halfway through eating.
  • Remove the veggies from the pan before scrambling the eggs, otherwise the eggs steam instead of fluff.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will crack when you roll them, trust me I learned this the messy way.
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, it holds heat evenly and gives the veggies a slight char.
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts smoother and tastes fresher.
  • If you like heat, add a pinch of chili flakes to the veggie mix or drizzle hot sauce inside before rolling.
