Low-carb diets can help with weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. Furthermore, starting your day with a healthy breakfast can provide you with the energy and nutrients you need to kickstart your day and improve your overall well-being.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Large Eggs

  • Optional: Add Additional Veggies or Mushrooms

Instructions:

  1. Chop your onions, spinach, peppers and tomatoes and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and cream cheese until well combined. This will take a bit for the cream cheese to blend well, but it doesn’t need to be perfect.
  3. In a large non-stick pan, melt 1TBS butter over medium heat.
  4. Add the diced onion and mini sweet peppers to the pan and cook until they are softened, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook until it is well sauteed, stirring occasionally.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and scramble everything together.
  7. Add the gouda cheese
  8. About half way through cooking, add another 1 TBS butter and blend in.
  9. Add a splash of water to the pan to help the eggs cook evenly.
  10. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.
  11. Once the eggs are cooked through, remove the pan from the heat.
  12. Divide the egg mixture into 4 portions.
  13. Now heat a separate pan or griddle while preparing the burritos.
  14. Place a ¼ portion of the egg mixture on top of each tortilla.
  15. Sprinkle shredded cheese inside if desired.
  16. Roll up the burritos, folding in the sides as you go.
  17. Brown each side of the tortillas in the remaining 1-2TBS butter and remove from heat
  18. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.
  19. Once done, serve the burritos with sliced avocado and diced tomatoes on top.
