Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- Fresh dill for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. You will need 2 large tortillas, 4 ounces of smoked salmon, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup of cream cheese, 1/2 avocado sliced, fresh dill for garnish, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, pour in the whisked eggs. Cook the eggs gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until they are softly scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare the tortillas. Warm them in a separate skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable. This will make it easier to wrap the burritos.
- Once the eggs are cooked, spread 1/8 cup of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the cream cheese on each tortilla. Next, layer the smoked salmon on top of the eggs, followed by the sliced avocado.
- To wrap the burritos, fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Make sure to keep the ends tucked in while rolling.
- After wrapping, you can place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet for about 1 minute to crisp up the outside, if desired.
- Once the burritos are ready, slice them in half diagonally and place them on a plate. Garnish with fresh dill for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious smoked salmon breakfast burrito!
Tips
- Choose high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor - look for wild-caught varieties with a rich, smooth texture.
- For extra-creamy scrambled eggs, add a small splash of cream or milk while whisking and cook them on low heat, stirring constantly.
- Warm your tortillas briefly to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading and more even distribution.
- If you want a crispy exterior, lightly toast the wrapped burrito in a skillet for a golden, crunchy finish.
- For a lighter version, you can use whole wheat tortillas or substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese.
- Fresh dill is key for that gourmet touch - don't skip this garnish as it adds a bright, aromatic finish to the dish.
