Additional Comments:

For a vegetarian version of this breakfast burrito recipe, replace bacon with sauteed mushrooms. For added flavour, add 1/3 cup of reduced fat cheese and some tomato salsa for a true mexican experience. The added cheese will take the fat level up from 4.7g per 100g to around 5.0g per 100g.
