Zesty Breakfast Burrito with Spiced Greens

Ingredients

- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., Monterey Jack or Cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chives, sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup arugula
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup baby kale
- 2 parathas (optional for extra texture)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Greens:
- In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add arugula, baby spinach, and baby kale. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
- Stir in turmeric, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt until well combined.
- Using the same pan, reduce heat to medium-low and add the whisked eggs.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping the bottom as they begin to set.
- When the eggs are just about set but still soft, remove from heat and fold in chopped cilantro, chives, and half of the scallions.

3. Assemble the Burritos:
- If using parathas for extra texture, pan fry them in a small amount of oil until golden and slightly crunchy.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a pan for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute scrambled eggs, spiced greens, and cheese.
- Optionally add crispy paratha pieces for crunch.
- Roll the tortillas tightly to form burritos, tucking in the sides as you go.

4. Final Touches:
- Pan fry each burrito for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
- Garnish with remaining scallions before serving.
