I used 2 eggs and a small red fresh chilli and omitted the tabasco for as it was it packed plenty of punch that chilli was hot and I used a wholegrain wrap as I have a heap in the freezer but no tortillas, thank you Annacia for a great, filling and full of flavour breakfast, made for Went to Market tag game.

A nice healthy egg burrito that makes a quick and easy start to the day! I made one minor change in that I used a little fresh jalapeno instead of canned because I had it on hand, but no other changes. Really appreciated that this was already scaled to feed one and was a heart healthy recipe. Thanks for the post.

Great egg burrito! I left out the onions and used regular eggs, otherwise made as directed. I liked cooking the cheese in with the egg (instead of putting it on top). I used a lowfat whole wheat tortilla. Great for breakfast too but I enjoyed this for lunch with some fresh fruit. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Diet food at its best! I made exactly as stated except I used a slice of fat free american cheese in place of the monterey jack. I also used a whole wheat tortilla. Thanks Annacia for a yummy way to start my day.

This was really delicious and a great pick-me-up (from overstudying). Due to my intolerance of heat (read: I can't eat hot stuff) I used one fresh green chili (deseeded) cause it's the only type of chili I can eat. I omitted the hot sauce, used real eggs and added lots of pepper. Thanks!
