Truthfully, my love for burritos began when I was in college. We used to frequent the local Roberto’s for a delicious breakfast burrito after a long night of studying!
Alright, well maybe there were other reasons we went straight for the burritos, but nonetheless, they were totally satisfying.
Well, that was until about an hour later, when I felt like my insides were going to pop! Maybe it was the extra love (aka grease) they put into the mix, I’m not quite sure.
But, ever since then I’ve been determined to #simpleswap them into a friendlier version that I can enjoy without the food coma!
Enter, these NEW California Breakfast Burritos!
The secret to the powerful flavor in these beauties: Monterey Mushroom’s latest Let’s Blend line of chopped seasoned mushrooms!
Seriously, this new supermarket find is the easiest way to add more flavor, nutrition and power to your everyday staples.
Rather than spending your precious time laboring over dicing up the shrooms, Let’s Blend does it for you! And, with three varieties (Classic, Italian and Mexican) you can rest easy knowing they’ll blend perfectly into your burgers, meatloaf or chili based on your desired flavor preference.
Now, here’s the deal with these burritos.
You can surely prepare them ahead of time, wrap them in foil and heat them up for a quick meal on the fly. But, if you choose to do so, my only recommendation is holding off on adding the avocado and salsa so you don’t end up with a soggy burrito (ain’t nobody got time for that #amiright?!)
Or, if you are trying to go a little more “bowl” style, you can easily leave off the tortilla and make an open faced burrito bowl just like the fancy restaurants do!

See, the possibilities are endless when you add a Let’s Blend Monterey Mushroom to your grocery cart.

- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add in the onion and bell pepper, cooking until slightly tender, or about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add in the ground turkey, garlic powder and black pepper, string to combine.
- When half the meat is browned, mix in the Let’s Blend™ Mexican Finely Diced Mushrooms.
- Continue to cook until meat is fully browned, or internal temperature of the mixture is 165 degrees F.
- Remove from heat and place into a glass Tupperware container, set aside.
- Using the same pan, spray with cooking spray and add in the whisked large eggs. Cook until done.
- To assemble burritos:
- Warm tortillas over the stovetop.
- Portion 1/4 cup eggs and 1/3 cup of Let’s Blend™ ground turkey mixture in the center of the tortilla.
- Top each burrito with even portions of chopped avocado, fresh salsa and shredded cheese.
- Roll into burritos by folding one end of the tortilla to meet the other, gently pushing back the tortilla and ingredients so that they are tight. Fold outside edges inward, then roll until burrito is closed. Repeat until desired number of burritos is formed.
- Storage:
- Burritos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and frozen for up to 4 months.

*If freezing, suggest to omit the avocado and salsa from preparation.
