Easy and delicious Omelette burrito, perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner…
I actually had this at mid-night and yes this helped to succumb to my mid night craving. On weekends, I sleep late and wake up late too. How I love to sleep in the morning without the blare of the alarm. Last Saturday, we had an early dinner and stayed up real late. By mid-night we felt real hungry. We both (My Man and I) hopped into the kitchen holding hands and together we made this Omelette burrito.
It tasted so good and this time I flipped the omelette successfully without messing it up. I’m proud of myself 🙂
Omelette was topped with cheddar cheese and folded in a tortilla and grilled to perfection. It’s totally delicious.
