Green Pepper and Onion Egg Burrito

Green Pepper and Onion Egg Burrito is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If it is your turn for Sunday breakfast give this a try!

Green Pepper and Onion Egg Burrito is also wonderful as a quesadilla. I never get tired of eggs. I like them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Eggs used to be low cost but times are changing and they are no longer as budget friendly as they once were.
