Ingredients:

For One Burrito:

1. 1 large low-carb or whole wheat tortilla (or regular flour tortilla)
2. 2 large eggs
3. 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
4. 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
5. 2–3 slices smoked salmon (about 2 oz)
6. 1 tablespoon cream cheese or herbed spreadable cheese
7. 1 tablespoon chopped red onion or scallions
8. 1 tablespoon fresh dill or chives, chopped
9. Handful of fresh spinach or arugula
10. Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

1. Avocado slices
2. Capers
3. Sliced cherry tomatoes
4. Everything bagel seasoning
5. Hot sauce or lemon juice drizzle

Instructions:

Step 1: Scramble the Eggs

Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk or cream if using, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and gently scramble until soft and just cooked through. Set aside.

Step 2: Warm the Tortilla

In a dry skillet or microwave, warm your tortilla for a few seconds until soft and pliable.

Step 3: Build Your Burrito

Spread cream cheese across the center of the tortilla. Layer with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, red onion or scallions, spinach, and herbs. Add any optional toppings like avocado, capers, or tomatoes.

Step 4: Roll It Up

Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly into a burrito. Slice in half if desired.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Enjoy warm, or wrap in foil to take on the go. Pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or a side of berries for a balanced breakfast.
