Protein Sparing Tortilla Burritos
Equipment
Ingredients
TORTILLAS:
- coconut oil (or tallow), for frying
- 3 large eggs separated
- 2 tablespoons Jay Robb Unflavored Egg White Protein Powder
FILLING:
- 16 ounces ground beef 85% lean seasoned and browned (or leftover shredded chicken, pork, etc)
- 2 cups Lettuce shredded
- 1 large red bell pepper sauteed
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 medium avocado sliced
Instructions
- Separate the eggs and with a hand mixer whip the whites in a clean, dry, cool bowl for a few minutes until VERY stiff. Blend in the protein powder. Slowly stir in the reserved egg yolks (without breaking down the whites).
- Heat the oil in a fry pan on medium-high heat until a drop of water will sizzle. Once it is hot, place a circle of dough on the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and place on a plate. Fill with your favorite burrito fillings and enjoy!
