Normally I'm all about making my own homemade salsas and sauces for this type of thing, but there were distractions this morning...
For a few months I've seen a pig wandering around our property. I've only caught glimpses of it, as it seems to always spook quite easily. I've been convinced that it's a feral pig, as we do have those pop up on occasion in this area of the county.
I've seen it in the game trails in the eastern field; seen it rooting around in the table scraps the neighbors across the way throw out; I've smelled the darn thing in the wind on my walks (we used to raise pigs, so I've a nose for that sorta thing). But until now I've only seen it on the periphery, or at a distance of no less than 50 ft.
Until this morning.
My wife yelled at me as I was readying go head out for my morning cardio session - seems Wilbur (I couldn't help myself) was in the back yard. She'd yelled to scare him away, and he responded by wagging his tail and coming to the kitchen window. Turns out Wilbur is of the pot-bellied variety, quite tame, and very, very friendly. He accompanied me on the first 1/2 of my morning power walk, but got distracted by another neighbor's garbage can and soon left me to complete my routine alone.
Everyone was quite excited, from my wife to my youngest (who was disappointed that it wasn't a dog as she'd originally thought - gotta love the 1 year old mind). My wife mainly because she wanted to get a pic of me power walking with a pot-bellied pig wagging it's tail and following behind me.
Anyways...
So a co-worker mentioned her love of breakfast burritos yesterday. It made me have a dream last night that I ate one. I took Wilbur's porky presence as a sign that it was my destiny... Though to be fair, I made mine with turkey sausage.
You got lucky today, Wilbur.

Breakfast Burrito
1 100% Whole Wheat wrap (8 inch)
1 egg
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1/2 cup bell pepper (chopped)
1 cayenne pepper (seeds removed, thinly sliced)
1 cup spinach (fresh)
1/8 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 turkey sausage patty (cooked, chopped)
1 teaspoon low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon taco sauce
I did my microwave eggs, and threw the chopped veggies and sausage in with a bit of salt and pepper, stirring about half-way through the cooking cycle (1 min 30 sec). I heated the wrap for about 15 seconds, then laid down the spinach, then the eggs, then the cheese, and finally the sour cream and taco sauce.
It may not be my old full-fat, carb-loaded fare, but it hit the spot and satisfied that craving.
