We have this wonderful Mexican takeout place near our house that has breakfast burritos that are to die for. Unfortunately they pack a punch when it comes to calories. If you prefer the same taste without the guilt, here’s a low calorie breakfast burrito I came up with that I think you’ll really like.
1 – 8″ whole grain low carb tortilla
1/2 oz cheddar cheese (I use almond milk cheese)
1 oz sliced avocado
1 whole egg or 2 egg whites
1 T salsa
Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce (optional, if you like a little heat)
Spray small bowl or coffee cup with spray oil. Whisk egg with a little salt and pepper in the bowl or cup. Microwave on high 20 seconds, stir well, then microwave again on high for 20 seconds. Chop into a few pieces and set aside (if it seems a little runny it will continue to cook while sitting).
Slice cheese and place in middle third of tortilla. Optionally you can put this in a toaster oven broiler for a minute or two to melt the cheese and warm the tortilla.
Spread the avocado slices on top of the cheese and then layer the egg on top of that. Put the salsa on as topping and then the Tabasco if you are using it.
Roll up and eat!
Note: As made above this is about 250 calories and should keep you going for at least 2-3 hours. Adjust ingredients to suit your taste or if you want more or less calories.
