Breakfast Burrito Recipe

A breakfast burrito recipe is low glycemic and one of many healthy breakfast ideas to start your day off right. As I have said elsewhere on this website it is best to eat your heaviest meals in the morning and at lunch time so you will burn off these calories during the day. There are many low glycemic recipes to choose from but a breakfast burrito recipe is a fantastic choice. It combines some protein and low glycemic carbs with lots of good fiber if you can find wholewheat tortillas or better yet sprouted grain tortillas. You could combine a breakfast burrito with some fresh fruit and green tea or 1 cup of coffee for a yummy way to start your day and have good energy all morning. You will probably not need a midmorning low glycemic snack with this breakfast.

Serves 1

  • 2 wholewheat or sprouted wheat tortillas
  • 2 eggs
  • salsa to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 T. chopped green onions
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Now there are lots of variations to this. You could add a little diced garlic to the onions, a little grated zucchini or cilantro, tomatoes, diced avocado, or chopped olives. You could sprinkle a little grated cheese on the eggs before they are set.

    You can warm the tortillas in a pan on the stove or on a baking sheet in your oven at low heat. In the meantime, cook your vegies or just the onions in the oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Beat the eggs, add salt and pepper and add to the onions. Add a little salsa and stir with a fork. When the eggs are gently cooked add half to the center of each tortilla, spread it out but leave room at the ends and roll it up the best you can. This is a little sloppy, but no matter, it's delicious!
