Beef Fajita Breakfast Scramble

Breakfast gets forgotten or people eat cold cereal. And while there are times that cereal tastes like the best thing ever, if you want a better tasting, more filling, healthier option, you have to make this simple beef fajita breakfast scramble.

This breakfast is made in a skillet and only takes one pan. This makes clean up simple. Eat this breakfast today, save some for other easy grab and go breakfast ideas.

Is this a Healthy Breakfast?

I love this recipe as a healthy breakfast recipe. Scrambled eggs are considered a healthy breakfast option and skirt or flank steak is a lower fat, healthier cut of steak. Combine that with peppers and this becomes a healthy delicious breakfast that everyone will love.

Can I Make This Ahead

This is a breakfast that will taste best when it is made fresh. However, I love when I can make a breakfast that I can use later. This can be made and eaten on the first day, saving some to eat later in the week.

You can portion the leftovers to make it easy to eat for breakfast all week.

How to Store Leftover Breakfast Scramble?

If you have leftover Beef Fajita Breakfast Scramble, you want to make sure to store it in the refrigerator. This will keep the breakfast skillet fresh for a few days. You can store the leftovers together as a whole or you can section it into small single serving portions.

Can I Freeze Beef Fajita Breakfast Scramble

I love to freeze leftovers so that I can make sure it does not go bad and I know that I have an easy, no cook breakfast ready. I like to freeze my scramble in smaller portions, perfect for a single serve breakfast. Then I simply bring out the portion, heat it in the microwave and have a delicious, easy breakfast.

Can I Turn This Into a Grab and Go Breakfast

If you want to make this into a simple grab and go breakfast, you can take the scramble and then place some of it in a tortilla. Turn it into a burrito or a taquito style breakfast. I like to fill the tortilla and then grill the outsides so that it is nice and crispy. This makes it very easy to take as a grab and go meal.

You can make the burritos or taquitos ahead as well and reheat it when you are ready to serve it.
