Ingredients
Scale
Egg and Vegetable Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1/4 cup zucchini, diced (optional)
- 1/4 cup spinach, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil (for sautéing)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
Assembly
- 2 low-carb tortillas (such as almond flour or coconut flour tortillas)
- 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
- Hot sauce (optional, for serving)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat the olive or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and spinach if using. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still vibrant.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin if using. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and gently scramble, cooking until just set but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
- Warm the Tortillas: Warm the low-carb tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable and soft, about 15-20 seconds each.
- Assemble the Burritos: Divide the scrambled eggs and veggies evenly between the tortillas. Top each with sliced avocado and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Add hot sauce to taste.
- Serve: Roll up the tortillas tightly into burritos and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables to your preference, such as adding mushrooms or tomatoes.
- Use low-carb tortillas made from almond or coconut flour to keep the carb count minimal.
- Optional spices like garlic powder and cumin add flavor but can be adjusted or omitted.
- Serve with hot sauce or salsa for an extra kick.
- If you prefer, you can add shredded cheese or cooked breakfast sausage for extra protein and flavor.
