Here’s a hot breakfast that requires hardly any cooking. If you don’t want to turn on the stove, whisk the egg in a small microwavable cup with 1 teaspoon of water and cook it on high for 1 minute until it puffs. Make this basic version, or dress the burrito up with crumbled bacon or diced ham, chopped tomato or sliced avocado.

| 1 8-inch whole-wheat flour tortilla or wrap | 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese | |
| 1 teaspoon butter | Salsa | |
| 1 cup egg, beaten | Sour cream |
Lay the tortilla flat on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds on high to warm it. Heat the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour in the egg. Scramble quickly, keeping it slightly moist, then spread the egg over the heated tortilla.
Sprinkle with cheese, spoon on some salsa and add a dollop of sour cream. Fold the tortilla in from both sides to overlap the filling, then fold the top and bottom over the middle like an envelope and eat right away.
