Breakfast Egg Wrap with Bacon, Mushrooms & Tomato Recipe

Breakfast Egg Wrap with Bacon, Mushrooms & Tomato Recipe

Whip up this tasty wrap for a great refueling snack after exercising or a make-and-go breakfast on a busy morning.

Running has been on my mind a lot lately. After a somewhat uneven summer when motivation was at an all-time low (seriously, I don’t think I could have been any lazier), I’m finally back on a four day per week running schedule. But now I need a kick in the butt to take things to the next level. I need a carrot in front of my nose. A goal. For me, that means signing up for a race. There’s nothing like the fear of bonking on mile 10 of a half-marathon to get you out of bed for a training run!

Whenever I increase my mileage, one certain thing happens. I get really hungry, particularly after long runs. It’s that dangerous balance of eating enough to refuel without clearing out the fridge. In theory, I know I need a combination of healthy protein and carbs to help muscles rebuild. In practice, 10 pieces of bacon sounds pretty awesome.

This breakfast wrap is a good compromise – a taste of bacon to satisfy the craving, a dose of my favorite veggie (mushrooms!) and a serving of protein and carbs in the form of eggs and a whole wheat tortilla (I used these low carb ones). All with a calorie count that doesn’t undo everything that I burned on the run.

This wrap is completely customizable. Prefer a vegetarian wrap? Swap black beans (or nothing at all) for the bacon. Mushrooms not your thing (gasp)? Use some red pepper instead. Mix things up to your heart’s content.
