Low FODMAP Breakfast Burritos Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 4 small gluten-free tortillas (corn or certified gluten-free, about 6-inch)
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup lactose-free milk
• 1 medium white potato, diced small
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup lactose-free cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
• 2 tablespoons green scallion tops, finely sliced (green parts only)
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings:

• Low FODMAP salsa (onion and garlic-free)
• Lactose-free sour cream
• Extra sliced green scallion tops

How To Make Low FODMAP Breakfast Burritos

1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dice the potato into very small cubes so they cook quickly. Dice the red bell pepper and chop the spinach. Slice only the green tops of the scallions. Keep your tortillas wrapped in a towel or foil so they are ready to warm up later.
2. Sauté the potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of the garlic-infused oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until they are golden brown and tender.
3. Cook the peppers and spinach: Add the diced red bell pepper to the pan with the potatoes and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Season with smoked paprika, cumin, and half of the scallion greens. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and keep warm.
4. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, lactose-free milk, salt, and pepper. Return the pan to medium-low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of garlic-infused oil. Pour in the eggs and gently push them with a spatula until they are just set but still soft. Remove from heat immediately.
5. Warm the tortillas: While the eggs cook, warm your tortillas. You can place the foil-wrapped stack in a low oven or heat them one by one in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side. This step is crucial to prevent cracking.
6. Assemble the burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Place a quarter of the vegetable mixture in the center. Top with a quarter of the scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of grated cheese. Add salsa or sour cream if desired.
7. Roll the burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom up to seal the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
8. Toast the burritos (optional): For a crispy finish, wipe the pan clean and heat it over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.

Recipe Tips

• Use Garlic-Infused Oil: To get a great garlic flavor without the stomach upset, use garlic-infused olive oil. Make sure the oil does not contain actual pieces of garlic, as the FODMAPs are in the solid cloves, not the oil.
• Keep Tortillas Warm: Gluten-free tortillas can be dry and brittle. Warming them before rolling makes them pliable and prevents them from breaking or cracking when you fold them.
• Dice Potatoes Small: Cut your potatoes into small, even cubes (about 1/2 inch). This ensures they cook through completely and become crispy in the pan without burning.
• Stick to Green Scallions: Only use the dark green tops of the scallions (green onions). The white bulb parts contain high amounts of FODMAPs, while the green tops are safe to eat.

What To Serve Low FODMAP Breakfast Burritos

These burritos are a complete meal on their own, packed with protein and vegetables. However, for a nice brunch spread, you can serve them with a side of fresh fruit. Strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, and kiwi are all excellent low FODMAP fruit choices. A cup of peppermint tea or a lactose-free latte also makes a comforting drink pairing.

How To Store Low FODMAP Breakfast Burritos Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Wrap leftover burritos tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a toaster oven until warmed through.
• Freeze: These are great for meal prep. Wrap cooled burritos individually in foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. To eat, unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are corn tortillas low FODMAP? Yes, traditional corn tortillas made from corn flour and water are generally low FODMAP. Always check the label to ensure no high FODMAP additives like gums or fibers have been added.
• Can I add meat to these burritos? Absolutely. You can add cooked bacon, ham, or ground sausage to the filling. Just make sure the meat does not contain added onion or garlic powder.
• Why use lactose-free milk and cheese? Standard milk contains lactose, which is a high FODMAP sugar that can cause digestive issues. Lactose-free milk has the enzyme lactase added to break down the sugar. Hard cheddar cheese is naturally very low in lactose, but using lactose-free versions ensures it is safe for everyone.
