A healthy Mexican-inspired breakfast burrito bowl made with roasted butternut squash, pico de gallo, egg and avocado.
Breakfast Burrito Bowl
For convenience, you can make the butternut squash and pico de gallo ahead of time, then in the morning just heat up the squash, fry a quick egg and slice up the avocado. It’s also a great way to use up leftover roasted butternut squash. Other breakfast recipes I love are Omelet Tortilla Breakfast Wrap, Breakfast Taco Scramble and Chorizo Breakfast Bowls.
For those of you on Weight Watchers, vegetables are now zero points on Smart Points which I love! Because of this I find myself eating more winter squash in ways that I normally wouldn’t. Take this breakfast bowl, the first idea was to use sweet potatoes but then the points would have been higher than I would have liked for breakfast so why not use butternut, seasoned with taco spices and roasted until crisp. The results were wonderful, topped with fried egg, some avocado and fresh pico de gallo this is a hearty breakfast with lots of flavor (even if you’re not following Weight Watchers, this is a light, hearty, healthy meal for under 250 calories)
