The inspiration for these Whole30 Breakfast Burritos with Plantain Tortillas came from a desire to create a breakfast that was both satisfying and nourishing. Plantains, a staple in many Latin American cuisines, are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They also have a naturally sweet flavor that makes them a perfect base for breakfast burritos. After experimenting with different ratios of coconut flour, plantain, and baking powder, we arrived at a combination that yielded tortillas that were both flexible and flavorful. The result is a breakfast burrito that is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients to kickstart your day.
