Kale and Egg Breakfast Burrito
A hearty and healthy breakfast burrito packed with kale, eggs, and avocado. The cumin adds a warm and earthy flavor, while the red onion provides a bit of a bite. Serve with dairy-free sour cream for an extra creamy touch.
The breakfast burrito is a classic for a reason: it's portable, customizable, and delicious. But traditional breakfast burritos are often loaded with heavy ingredients like cheese and sour cream. This recipe lightens things up with a filling of kale, eggs, and avocado. The kale adds a boost of nutrients, the eggs provide protein, and the avocado adds healthy fats and creaminess. The cumin adds a warm and earthy flavor, while the red onion provides a bit of a bite. Serve with dairy-free sour cream for an extra creamy touch.

Why It Works
  • The kale is wilted in a skillet before being added to the burrito, which helps to remove some of its bitterness and make it more tender.
  • The eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, so you can have them runny, over easy, or hard-cooked.
  • The cumin adds a warm and earthy flavor to the burrito, while the red onion provides a bit of a bite.
  • The avocado adds healthy fats and creaminess to the burrito.
  • The dairy-free sour cream is an optional topping that adds an extra creamy touch.
