Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
Vegetables
- 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)
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 low-carb tortillas (such as almond flour or coconut flour tortillas)
- Hot sauce (optional, for serving)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and spinach if using. Sauté the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and fragrant.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin until well combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are cooked through but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the eggs cook, warm the low-carb tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable and slightly toasted.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay each warm tortilla flat. Divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Top each with sliced avocado, and if desired, a drizzle of hot sauce and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley.
- Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly to form a burrito. Serve immediately while warm.
