Servings: 2

Ingredients

Olive oil
1 tablespoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
Avocado
1, peeled and sliced
Fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup
Fresh mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup, sliced
Cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup, halved
Eggs
4, large
Flour tortillas
2, large

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, scrambling the eggs until they're just set but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in another skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can microwave them for 10-15 seconds.
  5. Lay the warmed tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide and layer the scrambled eggs, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, and avocado slices in the center of each tortilla.
  6. To assemble the burrito, fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll them up from the bottom. Make sure the fillings are secure inside.
  7. Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Italian-inspired breakfast!
