How to Serve Veggie Breakfast Wrap
Serving your Veggie Breakfast Wrap can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. For a classic breakfast, serve it with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad for added nutrition. You can also drizzle some hot sauce or salsa inside the wrap before rolling it up for an extra kick. If you’re handling meal prep, wrapping each one in foil not only keeps them warm but makes for easy grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
How to Store Veggie Breakfast Wrap
To store your Veggie Breakfast Wraps, allow them to cool completely before wrapping them in foil or placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to four days. If you wish to store them for longer, consider freezing them. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, to prevent freezer burn. You can enjoy them within three months if frozen.
Tips to Make Veggie Breakfast Wrap
- Customize the Fillings: Feel free to swap out the bell peppers with other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms, or add avocado for creaminess.
- Add Protein: For extra protein, consider adding cooked sausage, bacon, or tofu.
- Use Whole Grain Tortillas: Choose whole grain or spinach tortillas for added fiber and nutrients.
- Cheese Variations: Mix cheeses for a richer flavor; feta, goat cheese, or pepper jack can add a unique twist.
Variation
For a different flavor profile, try making a southwest Veggie Breakfast Wrap by adding corn, diced jalapeños, and using pepper jack cheese. You can also switch it up by making it a breakfast burrito by adding some scrambled potatoes or a splash of enchilada sauce before wrapping it up.
