Potato Chorizo Egg Bites

Chorizo Potato Egg Bites are a great way to get protein in during the week. Add them to your meal prep! #shutterbeanmealprep

You know what’s close to a breakfast burrito but isn’t? Potato Chorizo Egg Bites!

They’re everything I love in a breakfast burrito without the tortilla. 

Chorizo Potato Egg Bites are a great way to get protein in during the week. Add them to your meal prep! #shutterbeanmealprep

I went on an Artichoke Egg Bite bender a few months ago. If you’re new here, I get in the habit of making something and I will make it TO DEATH. I took a few weeks off of egg bites.  To rekindle my love of a protein packaged breakfast food, I added these Chorizo Potato Egg Bites to my meal prep!

My Everyday Life Week 6 of 2022- a photography series by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com

I have a couple of them for breakfast (microwave like 30 seconds) and they keep me full for quite a while.

Yes, I caught the half-time show at the Super Bowl and YES I LOVED IT. Hooray for growing up in the 90s.  This weekend Cooper had a baseball tournament, I had dinner at a friend’s house and caught up on housework and meal prep.
