Ingredients

  

• 3 low carb tortillas I prefer La Tortilla Factory’s Zero Carb tortillas

• Pour the egg mixture over the tortillas, ensuring an even spread.
• Add your chosen meat and veggies. This recipe is flexible – feel free to get creative with your toppings.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, adding an extra layer of deliciousness.
