Scotty Snacks Shrimp, Egg & Beef Taco Burrito (With Cheese) on flour tortilla atop a white plate What looks a lot like scrambled eggs with cooked shrimp, grated cheese and Farmer John’s breakfast sausage; smells just like the Slow Cooked Beef Tacos we had for dinner Saturday; and tastes nothing like the breakfast burrito you’ll find at McDonald’s (until about 10:30am) is yet another mexican meal concoction prepared on the fly! After waking up from a much needed (good) night of sleep, I peered into the fridge and pulled out the leftovers from this past weekend’s round of fun to feast on…

Materials Used

3 eggs
1/4 cup cooked beef taco meat
2 tsp grated cheddar/jack cheese
1 flour tortilla
1 tsp salsa (of choice)
1/4 cup shredded lettuce
1 small handful of sprouts

How To

As simple as cracking the eggs over the skillet, adding the (leftover) beef tacos along with the cooked shrimp and shredded cheddar/jack cheese then scrambling it all together finely with a fork, truly anyone can create this breakfast burrito. Once the eggs are cooked, pour (or spoon) onto a warm tortilla, add the sprouts, shredded lettuce and salsa and, to put it bluntly, wrap it up! ;)

Pair It With

Although this burrito snack is best when consumed with any one of Scotty Snacks smoothies or freshly brewed teas (of course, right?), it will wash down well with just about any beverage, specifically juices, milks, coffees, milk shakes and even water. And, for extra bells and whistles, toss some fresh fruit alongside and put a price tag on this puppy.

After filling the fridge back up with all of the leftovers discussed in my post, Covered In Snacks From The Los Angeles Tech Paintball Event!, I couldn’t help but to knock down the strawberry and banana count with this featured Scotty Snacks Smoothie. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night munchies or after a visit to the gym, this Simply Strawberry Banana Smoothie was actually just consumed with the last of my recent batch of Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies.
