Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 medium avocado, diced

1 cup spinach, roughly chopped

1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 small zucchini, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)

Optional toppings: salsa, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Cook the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a different skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until cooked through but still soft and creamy. Remove from heat.

      Assemble the Burrito: Lay a large lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface. Spoon a quarter of the sautéed vegetables onto the center of the leaf followed by a quarter of the scrambled eggs and a generous amount of diced avocado. If desired, add salsa, cheese, or cilantro on top.

        Wrap the Burrito: Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to create a burrito shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

          Serve: Enjoy your low carb breakfast burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil for an on-the-go meal!
