Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Filling
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked ground beef or ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons diced avocado
- 2 tablespoons low sugar salsa
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
Wrap
- 1 large low-carb tortilla or 1/4 cup almond flour wrap mixture
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined for a smooth mixture.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and gently cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are soft scrambled and just set, ensuring a creamy texture.
- Warm the Tortilla: Warm the low-carb tortilla in a separate pan or microwave until it is pliable and easy to fold without cracking.
- Assemble the Burrito: Place the warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Layer the scrambled eggs, cooked ground meat, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, salsa, and green onions evenly in the center of the tortilla.
- Fold and Roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito to keep all the ingredients secure.
- Optional Crisping: If desired, return the burrito to the skillet seam-side down and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly crispy and sealed, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Serve: Serve the burrito warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For an ultra-low-carb option, use a lettuce wrap instead of a tortilla.
- You can swap the cooked ground beef or turkey with bacon, sausage, or shredded chicken based on preferences.
- Add hot sauce or jalapeños if you like extra spice to enhance the flavor.
