Brain-Boosting Breakfast Burrito Recipe

by

This delicious Breakfast Burrito recipe is a complete meal that fuels your body and mind packed with lean protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.

Including protein in every meal helps regulate blood sugar levels. By adding lean protein like eggs, cheese, or nuts to your breakfast, you can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates. This prevents blood sugar spikes and crashes, keeping you focused and energized throughout the morning and saying goodbye to donut-induced brain fog!

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 sprouted-grain tortilla or coconut wrap
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 slice of avocado
  • ⅛ cup salsa
  • ¼ cup broccoli florets
  • ⅛ cup spinach
  • ⅛ cup chopped onion
  • ½ tbsp garlic

Preparation (Serves 1):

Prep Your Burrito Base:

  1. Heat Up the Pan: Get your cooking started by heating some oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Add your chopped vegetables (except spinach, if using) to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until they’re slightly softened. Aim for a tender-crisp texture.
  3. Spinach Speed Round (Optional): If you’re including spinach, toss it in the pan for just the last 30 seconds or so of cooking. It wilts quickly, so you don’t want to overcook it.

Scramble Those Eggs:

  1. Egg Power: Once the veggies are prepped, push them to one side of the pan. Crack your eggs (or use pre-measured egg whites) into the cleared space. Scramble the eggs until they’re cooked through, stirring frequently for even cooking.

Assemble and Enjoy:

  1. Warm Up the Wrap: While the eggs cook, grab your tortilla and heat it up in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make it more pliable.
  2. Fill ‘Er Up: Spread the cooked egg mixture out in the center of the warmed tortilla. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Avocado Time: Add a creamy slice of avocado for healthy fats and deliciousness.
  4. Salsa Fiesta (Optional): Finish it off with a drizzle of your favorite salsa for a touch of heat and extra flavor.
  5. Wrap it Up! Fold or roll your burrito however you like and enjoy!
