Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup fresh pico de gallo
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the ground beef:

  • 1/2 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp red cayenne pepper

For the scrambled eggs:

  • 4 large organic eggs
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter

For the avocado crema:

  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with oregano, red cayenne pepper, chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook until browned, then drain any excess liquid. Set to the side.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk (paid link) your eggs, creme fraiche, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the butter to a skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs. Set to the side.
  3. Place a large flour tortilla on a flat surface. In the center of the burrito, layer with one half of the shredded Mozzarella, one half of the cooked ground beef, one half of the scrambled eggs, and one half of the pico de gallo. Repeat for the second burrito.
  4. Fold the burritos by folding the sides in, then fold the bottom flap up and over the filling, tucking in the corners as you roll the burrito tightly to close. 
  5. Place olive oil and the burritos seam-side down in a medium-heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and sealed.
  6. Optional avocado crema: Cut your avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop out the insides. Add the avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, black pepper, sea salt, and lemon juice to a small bowl and mix until smooth.
