Yummy Keto Breakfast Burrito to Start to Your Day Recipe
Introduction
The keto diet emphasizes low-carb, high-fat meals that support weight loss and mental clarity. This keto breakfast burrito offers a delicious, satisfying start to your day by swapping out the traditional high-carb tortilla for a keto-friendly alternative, without sacrificing flavor or convenience.
Ingredients
- Low-carb tortilla (store-bought or homemade; options include egg wraps, coconut flour wraps, or almond flour tortillas)
- 4 large eggs, scrambled
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled or 2 sausage links, crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or mozzarella)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup diced onions
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers
- 2 tbsp sour cream (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking the eggs)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Salsa (sugar-free)
- Jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your low-carb wrap. Heat store-bought low-carb tortillas briefly in a dry skillet to make them pliable. For homemade egg wraps, whisk 2 eggs per wrap, pour into a greased non-stick skillet, and cook until set; flip if needed.
- Step 2: Cook your bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels and crumble. If using sausage, cook until browned and set aside.
- Step 3: Sauté diced onions and bell peppers in a bit of butter or oil until soft to add flavor and texture.
- Step 4: Melt butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Add whisked eggs and cook, stirring frequently, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
- Step 5: Lay your low-carb wrap flat. Layer scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon or sausage, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheese, and avocado slices. Add sour cream and salsa if desired.
- Step 6: Fold the sides and roll the burrito tightly. For a crispy finish, pan-fry each side for about a minute in butter or oil. Garnish with cilantro and extra salsa. Serve and enjoy!
