Ingredient Breakdown

Homemade Strawberry Jam

• 1 lb fresh strawberries – Washed and sliced.
• 1¼ cups white sugar
• 2 tbsp lemon juice – For brightness and natural pectin.

Homemade Spinach Tortillas

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (+ ¼ cup for dusting)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• ½ cup water
• ½ tsp salt
• 3 cups baby spinach – Washed, lightly packed.

Burrito Bite Fillings

• 2 large eggs, scrambled
• ⅓ cup red onion, finely chopped
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, diced
• ½ cup shredded cheese – Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your fave
• Optional: Salt, pepper, and chili flakes for seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Strawberry Jam

1. In a saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar. Stir over medium heat.
2. Once it begins to boil, add lemon juice and continue boiling for 10 minutes.
3. Stir often and smash the berries with a fork or smasher tool as they cook.
4. When thickened, remove from heat and let cool before transferring to a jar.

💡 Tip: Jam will thicken more as it cools. If it’s too thin, you can simmer a few more minutes.

Make the Spinach Tortillas

1. In a food processor, combine flour, spinach, olive oil, water, and salt.
2. Blend until a dough ball forms. If too sticky, add a bit more flour.
3. Transfer to a floured surface and knead a few times until smooth.
4. Divide into 6 balls and roll out into thin 7-inch circles.
5. Cook on a hot pan for ~2 minutes per side, until browned and bubbly.

💡 Keep them soft: Stack warm tortillas and cover with a clean towel while finishing the rest.

Assemble the Burrito Bites

1. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam over each spinach tortilla.
2. Add scrambled egg, chopped onion, diced tomato, and shredded cheese.
3. Roll tightly, then slice each wrap into 4–5 bite-sized pieces.
4. Optional: top each bite with a small dollop of jam and a pinch of chili flakes for flair.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Store burrito bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Jam keeps in the fridge for 2–3 weeks.
• Tortillas can be frozen and reheated easily.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve as part of a brunch spread with fresh fruit and mini muffins.
• Great as a kid-friendly snack or packed lunch option.
• Drizzle a little hot honey on top for a sweet-spicy twist.
