Instructions

    Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Optionally, add some breakfast sausage or ground chicken.

  3. 3

    Bake in the oven until completely set.

  4. 4

    Slice the baked egg mixture into 6 equal pieces.

  5. 5

    Make the breakfast sauce by mixing low sugar ketchup, light mayo, and garlic powder until smooth.

  6. 6

    On a low-carb tortilla, spread the breakfast sauce, then add a slice of the egg mixture and mozzarella.

  7. 7

    Roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito.

  8. 8

    Toast the burrito in a pan until golden brown and crispy.

  9. 9

    Allow the burritos to cool, then wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to a week.

    To reheat, unwrap from foil, place on a plate and microwave for 90-120 seconds, then toast again in a pan or air fryer to get crispy.

Tips

  • Add hash browns to the burritos for extra texture and flavor.

Overall positive sentiment with high engagement, but most comments are requests for the cookbook or generic praise. One popular suggestion to add hash browns.
