Tried and True: Hangover Breakfast Burrito

This recipe is from Candice’s latest cookbook, Cook Yourself Sexy, which really has changed my outlook on cooking and making better choices.  Now – don’t let the word “hangover” mislead you. These burritos are not only for when you have a hangover from way too many cocktails (not that I’ve ever had that happen *cough*), but can be the perfect jump start to a busy day. Packed with some great FWB (foods with benefits), this easy to prepare breakfast burrito packs a punch. In today’s “go-go-go” world, we need every edge we can get and grabbing a bagel or a quick breakfast sammie might not be the best choice.

I made a few slight changes to her recipe and also made a bit extra so I can grab and go in the mornings. I roasted the veggies to get a bit of extra umph in the flavor and instead of Gruyere, I grabbed some sharp cheddar to top it off. Add a touch of fresh thyme and *viola* you have a burrito that is fantastic for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

So – let’s get to the recipe shall we?
