Ingredients
-
2 large whole-wheat tortillas
-
½ cup cottage cheese (4% milkfat preferred)
-
2 large eggs, scrambled
-
1 ripe avocado, sliced
-
¼ cup diced tomato
-
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
Cooking spray or a small dab of butter/oil
Optional toppings:
-
Salsa or hot sauce
-
Sour cream or Greek yogurt
-
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
1. Cook the Eggs:
Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper until fluffy. Pour into the pan and cook gently, pushing the eggs from edges to center until just set (2–3 minutes). Transfer to a plate — don’t overcook!
2. Assemble the Burritos:
Lay the tortillas flat. Spread cottage cheese down the center of each, leaving about a 2-inch border. Top with scrambled eggs, avocado slices, diced tomato, and cilantro.
3. Roll It Up:
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
4. Toast to Perfection:
Wipe out the skillet, spray again, and place burritos seam-side down. Toast 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. This seals the seam and gives the tortilla that irresistible crunch.
5. Serve & Enjoy:
Slice in half diagonally, plate beautifully, and serve with salsa, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a squeeze of lime.
Notes
-
Make it meal-prep friendly: Assemble and freeze before toasting. Reheat in the microwave, then crisp in a skillet.
-
Smooth texture: Blend the cottage cheese briefly if you prefer a creamy spread.
-
Prevent sogginess: Add a leaf of butter lettuce between warm eggs and tortilla to act as a moisture barrier.
-
Mix it up: Try adding black beans, pepper jack cheese, or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
