Breakfast burrito wrap
A breakfast burrito wrap (alternative) is a versatile morning meal that swaps the traditional flour tortilla for a healthier or gluten-free base like a large collard green leaf, lettuce wrap, or low-carb flatbread. It typically features scrambled eggs, beans, cheese, and salsa, with optional additions like avocado or lean meats. This dish is a modern, health-conscious twist on the classic Tex-Mex breakfast burrito.
