This egg-wrap Veggie Breakfast Burrito is a great vegetarian option for those who want a hearty breakfast without animal-based proteins. The recipe pairs compatible toppings like spinach and tomatoes for a superb flavor pairing with great health benefits. Spinach has been proven to help decrease the risk of chronic diseases because of its low omega-6-to-omega-3 ratio,1 while, tomatoes can help boost your immune system due to their great bioactive properties.2
We swapped tortillas for egg wraps in this breakfast burrito to avoid grains and add extra protein to this meal. Before assembling, make the wraps by following our Egg Wrap recipe. And if you don’t have Paleo ketchup on hand, make a batch at home for a healthier dipping sauce.
If you’re not vegetarian and want to add animal-based protein to this recipe, we recommend sautéed diced pork belly, steak, or ground pork to add to the filling. For a plant-based protein option, we suggest sautéed sliced mushrooms.
Dietary Restrictions: Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) omissions and substitutions are listed in the recipe ingredients.
