We love suggestions and requests. And this week, we are starting a new feature on our Blog that for now, we are calling

The Recipe Club

But feel free to suggest a different name…. We will provide a one day meal plan (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and a Fun Snack!).

This week’s one-day meal plan is for a family of four on a budget with a Tex-Mex twist:

Breakfast: Breakfast Burritos

• 8 flour tortillas

• 8 large eggs

• 1/2 cup of milk

• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

Instructions:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

• In a non-stick pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add egg mixture to the pan and stir until scrambled and fully cooked.

• Warm up the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet.

To assemble, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs on each tortilla, top with shredded cheese and salsa, then roll up into a burrito.
