Cooking Tips
- Even Scrambling: Cook the eggs evenly to avoid overcooking and ensure a soft texture.
- Wilt Spinach Quickly: Wilt the spinach just until it’s soft to retain its bright green colour and nutrients.
- Warm Tortilla: Warming the tortilla slightly before adding the filling makes it easier to roll without cracking.
- Customize Fillings: Add other veggies like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavour.
- Cheese Melting: For a gooey texture, place the burrito back in the skillet to melt the cheese thoroughly.
