What is a Denver Omelette?
A Denver Omelette is also commonly referred to as a Western Omelette. A traditional Denver Omelette is made with eggs, cheese, bell peppers, ham and onions. But instead of being wrapped in a tortilla like we have done with our Denver Omelette Breakfast Burritos, the eggs are not scrambled and are instead mixed in with the other ingredients and all cooked together until the omelette can be folded over.

Are these burritos good for keto meal prep?
This is a fantastic meal prep recipe! Simply prepare ahead of time and wrap individually in aluminum foil. These burritos will stay fresh for up to 5 days. Store in a container with an airtight lid or a plastic bag. To reheat, you can warm in the microwave (with the foil removed) in 30 second increments until warm. You can also warm in a skillet, or in the Air Fryer!
How many carbs are in this recipe?
I made this recipe with a low carb tortilla and the net carb count was 6.8. If you are using a regular tortilla (or these yummy Zucchini Tortillas!) then the carb count will change.
