Description

Imagine a warm, satisfying burrito, but with a delightful twist. This recipe guides you through creating a vibrant vegetarian burrito, artfully wrapped in a delicate egg-based tortilla. The absence of traditional flour allows the fresh, flavorful fillings to truly shine.

The egg tortilla, light and slightly savory, is surprisingly simple to make. A touch of coconut milk lends a subtle richness and creamy texture, while a hint of tapioca flour ensures the tortilla holds its shape beautifully. For those seeking an even lower carbohydrate option, psyllium husk offers a suitable alternative, maintaining the tortilla's integrity.

The result is a tender, pliable wrap that perfectly complements the ingredients within. Inside this innovative burrito, you'll discover a medley of textures and tastes. Creamy avocado provides a smooth, luxurious base, while juicy cherry tomatoes burst with sweetness and acidity.

Crisp lettuce adds a refreshing crunch, and thinly sliced scallions contribute a mild, oniony bite. A splash of your favorite hot sauce awakens the palate, adding a welcome kick that ties all the flavors together. While this recipe features a delicious vegetarian combination, the possibilities are truly endless.

Feel free to customize your burrito with other low-carbohydrate fillings to suit your preferences. Diced ham, crispy bacon, or thinly sliced prosciutto can add a savory, meaty element. Leftover cooked steak, grilled chicken, or even flaked fish would also be excellent additions.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. Don't forget the finishing touches! A dollop of homemade salsa, a scoop of fresh guacamole, or a drizzle of your favorite cheese sauce can elevate this burrito to new heights.

Each bite offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors, making it a satisfying and guilt-free meal. Whether you're looking for a light lunch, a quick dinner, or a creative way to use leftover ingredients, this egg-wrapped burrito is sure to become a new favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    In a bowl, crack the eggs. Add the coconut milk, tapioca flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
    2.
    Add the olive oil to a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, pour in the egg mixture and swirl to distribute evenly. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are firm.
    3.
    While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the seed, and slice one half vertically. Scoop the avocado out of its skin. Finely slice the scallions, shred the lettuce, and cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Once the eggs are fully cooked, remove the pan from the heat and place it on the counter.
    4.
    Add the hot sauce to the middle of the egg tortilla and spread it evenly. Leaving 1.5 inches empty at the bottom, layer the avocados, tomatoes, and scallions. Finally, add the lettuce leaves on top and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    5.
    Slide the egg tortilla onto a large piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper. Fold the lower part of the egg tortilla over the vegetables, then use the foil or paper to firmly roll the tortilla from one side to the other. Tear the top part of the foil or paper to expose the tortilla.
    6.
    If you are saving the breakfast burrito for later, keep it wrapped and don’t tear the top part of the foil or paper. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge and enjoy warm.
