Enjoy a low carb breakfast burrito with this easy recipe. Bacon and cheese in a homemade egg wrap, these burritos are delicious at home or on-the-go.
Breakfast burritos are a perfect handheld meal, ready to take on-the-go or enjoy at home. It turns out, it’s pretty easy to make them low carb too. Instead of having egg in the filling, turn the egg into the wrap. This recipe has bacon and cheese as the filling, but really, once you make the egg wrap, the burrito possibilities are endless. These breakfast burritos are also ideal for meal prepping. Wrap each burrito in parchment paper and store them in the fridge. Then, simply warm them in the microwave as you head out the door. And your healthy breakfast is done.
Homemade Egg Wraps
The most important part of this recipe is the egg wraps. I actually use egg wraps to make low carb enchiladas too (check out the recipe). To make the egg wraps you need a medium sized non-stick pan, eggs, water and seasoning salt. Mix together the eggs, water and seasoning. I recommend using a shaker bottle to mix them up. This makes measuring the egg mixture easier. Heat the non-stick pan on the stove over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, spray it with non-stick spray and pour in one-third cup of the egg mixture. Put the lid on the pan and cook for 3 minutes until it’s just cooked through. Then, use a spatula to gently slide the egg wrap onto a plate. Repeat the process for each egg wrap. In my pan, I can make 5 wraps with 6 eggs. As the size of pans vary, you can adjust the amount of eggs for your family. Another easy swap is to use egg whites instead.
Fill and Roll the Burritos
Once you’ve made all the egg wraps, give them time to cool a bit so you don’t burn your fingers while you’re rolling up the burritos. Then, put your burrito filling in the center of the wrap. Next, fold the sides of the wrap over the filling. Finally, roll up the breakfast burrito. Place the finished burrito seam-side down on a plate. And make the rest of the burritos.
Finish the Burritos
The last step is to return the rolled burritos back to the pan for a few minutes. Heat the same non-stick pan over medium heat. Place all the burritos in the pan seam-side down for 2-3 minutes until the are golden on the outside. Then, turn them over. A couple minutes on the other side, then the cheese will be melted, and it’s time to eat. At this point you could also wrap up the burritos and store them for a quick breakfast any day of the week.
