INGREDIENTS
For the Egg Scramble:
- 3 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley)
For the Burrito Filling:
- 1/2 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc.)
- 1/4 cup cooked black beans or pinto beans
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
For Wrapping:
- 1 gluten-free tortilla (corn or rice-based)
- Cooking oil for greasing
INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little cooking oil.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook, gently stirring, until they are scrambled and cooked to your preference. Remove from heat.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced vegetables until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Warm the gluten-free tortilla according to the package instructions.
Place the tortilla on a clean surface.
Place the cooked eggs, sautéed vegetables, cooked beans, and grated cheese on one side of the tortilla.
Add the sliced avocado on top of the filling.
Drizzle salsa or hot sauce on top, if desired.
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Heat the burrito in the skillet for a minute on each side to lightly toast the tortilla and melt the cheese.
Remove from the skillet and let it cool slightly before serving.
TIPS
Customize the burrito by adding spinach, mushrooms, or other vegetables you enjoy.
Choose a tortilla with minimal ingredients and no added sugars for a healthier option.
Be mindful of portion sizes to control your calorie intake, especially if you’re aiming to lose weight.
Enjoy the Gluten-Free Breakfast Burrito with Eggs as a portable and satisfying breakfast or brunch.
