Prep time: 10 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 egg white
• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 low-carb tortillas

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, scramble the egg and egg white until cooked through.
2. Add the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened.
3. Stir in the cheddar cheese and cook until melted.
4. Spread the egg and vegetable mixture evenly over the tortillas.
5. Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately.

Why It Works

• Using two different peppers gives the burrito a more complex flavor. Red bell peppers are sweet and juicy, while green bell peppers are more vegetal and earthy.
• Using two different cheeses gives the burrito a more rich and flavorful filling. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice for breakfast burritos, but Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese would also be good options.
• Scrambled eggs are a classic breakfast burrito filling, but they can be a bit bland. Adding vegetables and cheese to the eggs gives them more flavor and makes them more satisfying.
