Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 small avocado, diced

1/2 cup bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), diced

1/2 cup zucchini, diced

1/4 cup onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Optional hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Begin by rinsing and dicing the bell peppers, zucchini, and onion into small pieces. Set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the bell peppers and zucchini, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until tender. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another minute before removing from heat.

      Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Return the skillet to medium heat and pour the whisked eggs in. Stir gently, cooking until just set, about 2-3 minutes; you want them fluffy and slightly undercooked as they will continue to cook off the heat.

        Assemble the Burrito: Lay a large lettuce leaf flat on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the sautéed vegetables, followed by the scrambled eggs, and top with diced avocado.

          Wrap and Serve: Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaves inwards to form a burrito shape. You can secure it with a toothpick if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with hot sauce on the side if desired.
