Hi Everyone! I haven't been here long, but I've been enjoying the recipes. I thought I'd share my own favorite egg variation.

Please note that I'm making this for my whole family, but the leftovers keep well in the fridge for a few days.

1 dozen eggs, beaten
1 lb. carb-free bulk breakfast sausage
One small can green chiles, chopped
Cheddar cheese...I used about 3 ounces, but you can play with it.

Brown the sausage, drain it and set it aside. Scramble the eggs. (I use the sausage pan.) Mix in half of the chopped green chiles (save the other half for next time) and the sausage when the eggs are about half cooked, but wait to add the cheese until it's very close to done, to avoid having it all stick to the pan. Mmm...yummy.

If you wanted to make it very McD's like, and you aren't on induction, like me, you could use a low-carb tortilla, put a slice of American cheese on it, then fill it with the scrambled egg mixture and roll it up. I think they also add some red pepper for color, but I can't taste it, so I didn't add any.

Enjoy

I LOVE BREAKFAST BURRITOS!!!

I just wanted to add a suggestion for anyone in a hurry and/or lazy (like me) who doesn't like to chop things up.

Rather than using the green chilis, I add about 2-3 Tablespoons (more or less to taste) of Pace Picante Salsa to the eggs. Add the salsa after the eggs are just about done, and heat just long enough to warm the salsa. The salsa has the green chilis in it and this way you aren't added chilled salsa to your warm burrito!

low carb tortillias are allowed on induction.

I'll try this for my husband -- he doesn't cook, but has ventured into making his own eggs cooked over-hard and even took a course on making deviled-eggs when I last made them.

I've figured that if I keep some shredded cheese available and reduce the number of ingredients in a recipe to manageable numbers (3 or less for his attention span in the kitchen) I can encourage him to make at least his own breakfast, if not anyone else's.

This sounds like something he would enjoy, and without the LC tortillas, as he avoids "extras" that boost carb counts needlessly. He began making wraps more than 10 years ago before they were "in", and used to be a carb-loader extraordinaire, so to forego a tortilla is a big deal.

Thanks the the recipe!

What page in the DANDR is that on please?

I have not been able to find this information in the book. Is this trus?? Also where can I find low carb tortias and what is considered low cab??? How many carbs per serving

There is a tortilia-like food that is acceptable on Atkins Induction phase, however the term used here is 'pancake' which, in the 1992 reprint of the popular 1970's DANDR, is used in the following context, taken directly from the book:



6 servings

Total = 12g
Per Serving = 2.0

Just a thought...for anyone interested in making their own LC bases for these burritos.

I researched Induction before beginning and torillas were not on the list. It said I could have certain veggies, certain cheeses, eggs, meat, butter, mayo, and certain oils. Exactly where on the Atkins site does it state that? You really can't go by the recipe selections because from what I understand some of those are shared by LCers and so when allowed is their opinion. Induction is meant to be pretty lean on choices. I can see adding the LC tortillas later, but not during Induction. If it were on the list then I would have definitely been having those because then I could have Quesadeas (I know, I need to learn how to spell)! What is the carb, calorie, fat, and protein stats on this item? And ingredients? I know, I can get all this from the store but I don't buy groceries until Friday evening!

Did you try substituting the soy flour with atkins bake mix?

Just to let you know: low carb tortillas are NOT allowed on Induction. Please refer to the allowable food list for induction.

Although low carb tortillas are not mentioned in DANDR (nor are pork rinds), the book may have been printed (2002) before the introduction of many of the new low carb choices. On the Atkins.com web page, there is a recipe for Ham-Cheese-Spinach Stromboli that uses low carb tortillas, and is approved for the Induction phase.

I'm sorry, pork rinds are not specifically mentioned but neither is venison or rabbit, but they're all MEAT, which is definitely allowed on induction.

I think she is right, low carb tortillas are ok for phase I, so is I slice of Low-Carb bread. When you look in his book for menu idea's he has it on induction.

MissScruff if you read Atkin's newer books, I believe I read it in Atkin's Essentials, it DOES include Atkins Tortillas and Bread.

I too miss mcdonald's breakfasts! I make my own mock bacon, egg, and cheese bisquit. I will post it in a new thread, so check it out!!!

Yes, but the Essentials book was written by Atkins Nutritionals, not by Dr Atkins. AN happens to sell bread and tortillas. Hmmm...
