Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 medium avocado, diced

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), diced

1/2 cup onion, diced

1 cup spinach, fresh

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (leafy greens like romaine or butter lettuce make good wraps)

Optional toppings: salsa, hot sauce, shredded cheese, or sour cream

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the diced bell peppers and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are fully combined. In the same skillet (or a separate one), pour the whisked eggs over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

      Assemble the Burrito: Take one large lettuce leaf and layer it with a portion of the sautéed vegetable mixture, followed by a portion of the scrambled eggs. Add diced avocado on top for creaminess.

        Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the lettuce wrap and roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional burritos.

          Serve: Serve the burritos warm with optional toppings such as salsa, hot sauce, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
