Ingredients
  

  • 4 flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 300 g chicken breast
  • 1,5 tsp burrito spice mix (storebought or make your own)
  • 6 eggs (M size)
  • 2 spring onions
  • 4 tbsp chunky guacamole
  • 1 red pepper (smaller one)
  • 150 g shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken into thin strips and season with burrito seasoning and oil. Mix everything well and fry over medium-high heat. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well. Finely chop the spring onion and bell pepper. Briefly sauté the spring onion in a little olive oil, then add the eggs. Lower the heat and prepare scrambled eggs, stirring gently. Remove from heat and add salt to taste. Set aside.
  • If you're making the avocado spread, you can prepare it using my guacamole recipe or use store-bought guacamole.
  • Briefly warm up large tortillas in a dry pan (or microwave) just until they become flexible. On each tortilla, layer a portion of scrambled eggs, a portion of chicken, 1 tbsp of guacamole, a portion of chicken, bell pepper, and finish with grated cheese on top.
  • Roll the tortilla up tightly into a burrito shape, then toast it on all sides in a pan with a little oil until golden and crisp. Cut in half and serve immediately while still warm.
