Instructions

Pico de Gallo

Cut the tomato in half. Use a spoon to scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds, then finely chop.
Combine chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro in a bowl. Add lime juice, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Combine and set aside.

Egg wraps

Mix eggs and oil with a whisk, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a medium-sized non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Pour about 6 tablespoons of batter per wrap, and fry on both sides, without browning them. Flip carefully. When done, transfer wraps to a cooling rack. You can place the egg wraps in the oven on the lowest setting (150°F / 65°C) or you can later reheat in the microwave by placing wrap on a paper towel, and microwave for about 15-30 seconds.

Beef filling

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned, yet tender, and then reduce heat to medium-low.
In a small bowl, whisk together Tex-Mex seasoning, tomato paste, water, salt, and pepper. Add the sauce to the skillet, and stir, coating the beef for a few minutes.
Steam or boil the cauliflower rice in salted water for a few minutes until tender.
In the middle of each wrap, layer with cheddar cheese, cauliflower rice, beef, and about a 1-2 tablespoons of Pico de Gallo.
Garnish with cilantro and serve with additional Pico de Gallo.

Tip!

If time is tight, feel free to prepare the egg wraps in advance. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to three days with wax or parchment paper between each wrap or you can freeze them. Same with the beef. Make a large batch and freeze in small portions. Pico de Gallo tastes just as good the next day — if not even better!

This might sound like a ridiculous question, but is the cauliflower rice served cooked or left raw in this instance? - I'd be happy with either.

It doesn’t say to cook it so I would assume raw. But I’m sure you can used it cooked or raw and it would be good.

Why use egg as a wrap, when you can make zero carb that don’t taste like eggs pot of pork rinds? Taste even better when you season them with cumin & garlic before frying them. Zero carb tortillas. A hecka lot better than egg; In my opinion and I’m a professional cook.

Raw cauliflower in the burrito would take the place of radish. I like mine sautéed and seasoned AND THEN I would add it the my burrito. Ole!

I would love to see the recipe for zero carb tortillas from pork rinds - I have been on a quest for the perfect tortilla recipe - and 6 tries later - still unsuccessful (they have all tasted horrible!)

I loved these shells! I xane up with my own taco filkers udlsing left over homemafe meaty spaghetti sauce, taco sauce, cayenne pepper, sluced cheddar, chopped cherry tomatoes, shredded romaine hearts, homemade guacamole and plain greek yogurt. So yummy! Only problem? For 5 tbsp of egg mixture per tortilla, they turned out really tiny, like appetizers. Still, I got 7 tiny burritos out of them and shared them with my mom for a small brunch. Soooo good!

It says "steamed" in the instructions so I popped it in the microwave. 🤷‍♀️

Made this last night for 2 people. The wraps were lovely with a little bit of garlic granules with the seasoning. I did half the egg mixture for one wrap which made a nice size... very filling and really delicious! Definitely having again
