Hearty & Cheesy Breakfast Burrito for Busy Carnivore Mornings
- Yield: 1 burrito
- Prep Time: 5 minutes (not including time to cook bacon and tortilla)
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, for the pan
- Kosher salt
- 1 slice cheese (any type)
- 2 slices regular, thin-cut bacon, cooked
- 1 (7- to 8-inch) tortilla (low-carb or carnivore-approved)
Instructions
- Preheat a small skillet over medium-low heat.
- While the pan heats, crack the eggs into a small bowl, add the heavy cream, and whisk until smooth.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the butter and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Pour in the whisked eggs and stir constantly over low heat to keep them creamy. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
- Cook the eggs until just set, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Place the slice of cheese on top of the eggs and cover the pan. Let the cheese melt for 2 minutes.
- Lay the tortilla flat and place the bacon slices in the center. Top with the cheesy eggs.
- To assemble, fold one side of the tortilla in halfway, fold up the bottom, and then roll the rest of the tortilla over to create an open-ended burrito. Serve immediately.
Notes for Meal Prep & Variations
- Meal Prep Tips: To make multiple burritos for the week, wrap each in parchment paper, followed by foil or plastic wrap, to keep them fresh. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When ready to eat, remove the foil or plastic, keep the parchment paper on, and microwave for about 1 minute until heated through.
- Tortilla Options: For a true carnivore version, consider using egg-based wraps or a thin layer of cooked ground chicken shaped into a tortilla.
- Cheese Swaps: Use any cheese you love—cheddar, mozzarella, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Add More Protein: Double the bacon or add cooked sausage for an even heartier burrito.
