What We Will Need

2 large romaine lettuce leaves, or 2 collard green leaves

2 large eggs

2 slices of bacon, fried till crisp and then chopped

1/4 avocado, sliced

Optional The cheese ( ¼ cup Shredded cheddar cheese)

1 tbsp of sour cream though its addition is not compulsory.

1 tbsp salsa (optional)

1 tbsp butter for cooking

Add salt and pepper require the dish

How We Are Going To Do It

step 1 : Cook the eggs: In a small non stick skillet, warm the butter in medium heat. Beat the eggs in the pan, mix and pour over to cook it until set, for about 2-3 minute. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

step 2 : Prepare lettuce wraps: Place the large lettuce leaves in a flat clean surface so that it will be easier to build the sandwiches. If you are to use collard greens, they can be steamed for 3-4 minutes to soften them up to get their pliability.

step 3 : Assemble the burrito: Take the scrambled eggs and divide it into two halves and put one half on each of the leaves. This should be done by incorporating bacon pieces, avocado pieces and finally sprinkle shredded cheese. Top with sour cream and salsa if desire.

step 4 : Wrap and serve: Take each side of the lettuce and fold it over the filling and then roll like a burrito. This can be served immediately and oranges can be served as a side dish for that tasty and healthy breakfast.

FAQs:

1- Is it possible to replace lettuce wrapping with low-carb tortilla?

• Of course, what you could do to make a more traditional burrito is replace this with a low-carb tortilla if you wish. Just make sure to go for a brand with least amounts of net carbs if you want it for the keto diet.

2- That being said, can I prepare this burrito in advance?

• It is possible to chop all the ingredients in advance, but it is better to roll a burrito just before eating, because lettuce can become wet if to store it for a long time. It is stored in an airtight container and the burrito you eat is a fresh one.

3- What other types of proteins can one use?

• If you do not have bacon on hand, you can use any other protein that you can get on Keto such as sausage, chorizo, or even cooked chicken.

4- What steps can I use to increase this more making it more filling?

• For increasing the calorie in it and make it more satisfying you can add extra cheese, avocado or a spoonful of guacamole. To complicate the matter all together, you have an extra egg or another slice of bacon.

Tips

• Choosing Lettuce: Romaine lettuce should be used large leaves as they are rigid as compared to other vegetables and do not topple the contents of the wrap. You can also use collard greens if you like to have something more rigid to act as the vessel for the stuffing. Although steaming the collard greens will result into a softer texture for them to be rolled.

• Crispy Bacon: For perfectly crispy bacon, place in a wire rack, over a baking pan, and heat the oven at 400 F or 200 C for about 15 mins.

• Meal Prep: Do not let the fillings such as scrambled eggs and bacon etc, to stay refrigerated for more than 3 days, but it is advisable to store them in different containers. Prepare the burritos in the morning, new ones.

• Extra Flavor: You can also sprinkle hot sauce, or paprika on the eggs when you are cooking it for extra flavor.
