Starting your day with a nutritious breakfast is essential, especially if you have lactose intolerance. Lactose-free breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs and veggies are a delicious and healthy choice that everyone can enjoy. These burritos are easy to make and packed with flavor and nutrients.
Ingredients Needed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup lactose-free milk or plant-based milk
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded dairy-free cheese (optional)
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Step-by-Step Preparation
First, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with the lactose-free milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are just set.
In the same skillet, add the chopped bell peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften. Then, add the chopped spinach and diced tomatoes, cooking for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for a few seconds. Divide the scrambled eggs and veggies evenly among the tortillas. If using, sprinkle dairy-free cheese on top.
Roll up each tortilla into a burrito shape, folding the sides as you go. You can enjoy these immediately or wrap them in foil for a portable breakfast on the go.
