Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), chopped

1 small zucchini, diced

1 small red onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

4 large lettuce leaves (for wrapping)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Salsa, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.

    Add Bell Peppers and Zucchini: Stir in the chopped bell peppers and zucchini, cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant in color. Sprinkle with ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well and remove from heat.

      Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Pour the eggs into the same skillet over medium heat. Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are just set but still fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the eggs are cooked, mix in the sautéed vegetables gently until everything is well incorporated.

          Prepare the Wraps: Lay out the large lettuce leaves on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the egg and vegetable mixture into the center of each leaf.

            Add Avocado: Top the filling with diced avocado. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for an added burst of flavor.

              Wrap the Burrito: Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling, then roll up from the bottom to create a burrito-style wrap.

                Serve: Plate the burritos and serve with fresh salsa on the side if desired.
