This recipe is easy and unbelievably delicious. Takes just a few ingredients and makes an epic surf and turf burrito. I use an egg thin in the middle of the cheese tortilla and makes all the difference when it comes to keeping the burrito together. You can use low carb tortillas if you’re following dirt/lazy keto or low carb diet.
