I made this with Trader Joe's wild smoked coho and even reduced the salt in the recipe by roughly half. It was still way too salty (I think primarily due to the salmon.) Adding all those wet ingredients to the eggs also caused them to weep. It also caused the smoked salmon to cook, pretty much wasting it. Terrible texture. I'd suggest heating the ingredients separately from the eggs (except the salmon which should be added cold) and making sure you drain the tomatoes before cooking.
Smoked Salmon Breakfast Burrito

The cream cheese and salmon in these wraps make for decadent breakfast burritos. If you're in the mood for meat, you could easily substitute bacon or sausage for the fish.
CAMP TIP: To warm big tortillas, roll them up, then wrap in foil and heat directly over the stove, turning often.
