Ingredients

Roasted Vegetables:

  • 2 small sweet potatoes chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 medium zucchini squash chopped
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • sea salt to taste

For the Scrambled Eggs

  • 1 Tbsp ghee butter, or olive oil
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 8 large eggs well beaten
  • sea salt to taste

For the Burritos

  • 4 large flour tortillas*
  • 2 avocados peeled and sliced
  • homemade or store-bought salsa of choice

Optional Add-ins:

  • breakfast sausage
  • chorizo
  • bacon
  • sour cream
  • cheddar cheese
  • green onion

Instructions

Roast the Vegetables:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spread the vegetables on 2 large baking sheets. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Use your hands to toss everything together until well coated. Roast 20 to 30 minutes, until vegetables are golden-brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

  • Heat the ghee (or butter/olive oil) in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking 1 minute to allow excess moisture to burn off. 
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet evenly over the spinach and allow them to cook 1 to 2 minutes, until they begin to firm up. Use a spatula to flip the eggs to the other side and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Continue cooking and flipping until eggs are cooked through. Season to taste with sea salt.

Make the Burritos

  • Heat up the tortillas using your desired method (microwave, or wrap in foil and heat in the oven. I like heating mine in the oven after the roasted vegetables come out).
  • Lay one tortilla on a large plate and add desired amount of roasted vegetables, scrambled eggs, and avocado. Top with any additional toppings. Fold in the sides of the tortilla then roll to form a burrito. Repeat for remaining breakfast burritos.

Notes

*I use gluten-free or grain-free tortillas, but select any tortilla you love!
