How to Make It

Get ready to create a delicious breakfast burrito in a few simple steps.

Make the avocado crema

Combine half an avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, water, coriander, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blitz until smooth, adding extra water for your desired consistency.

Cook the tater tots

Prepare the tater tots in an air fryer or oven. Cook at 180°C/350°F for approximately 10 minutes until they’re super crispy.

Whisk and cook the eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Pour the mixture into a preheated frying pan with olive oil, cooking over low heat. Gently fold the eggs to keep them fluffy, seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat while slightly undercooked.

Prepare the vegetable fillings

Dice the sundried tomatoes into small cubes and slice the avocado to add freshness and flavor.

Warm the tortilla

Heat the tortilla or wrap in the microwave for a few seconds to make it pliable.

Assemble the burrito

Layer the ingredients in the center of the tortilla in the following order: tater tots, avocado slices, diced sundried tomatoes, fluffy eggs, hot sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese. Leave space on the sides for folding.

Fold the burrito

Start by folding the two sides over the filling, then fold the bottom half up and tuck it in. Roll tightly to create a compact burrito.

Toast the burrito

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast the burrito, turning it occasionally until all sides are crispy and golden.

Serve and enjoy

Slice the burrito in half and dip it into the avocado crema for a delightful addition.

How to Store It

Fridge: store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Freezer: no, best enjoyed fresh.
