These breakfast wraps are filled with bacon & eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado and salsa. This low carb and super easy recipe will keep you satisfied all morning.
In Southern California, breakfast burritos and breakfast tacos are king. You can go to any local taqueria and order them. Some of my favorites are filled with carne asada, onions, cilantro and avocados, but since going low carb, we don’t frequent taco shops except to get guacamole and salsa to accompany our homemade beef fajita or chicken fajita dinners. Sometimes my husband will order a breakfast burrito, which is always HUGE, and just eat the filling, pushing aside the potatoes or requesting that they be left out entirely.
Breakfast and tacos, in our area anyway, have almost become synonymous. And, what better way to enjoy a breakfast taco at home than to make a quick, low carb version with bacon and eggs and a tasty – almost zero carb wrap? I shared the recipe for pork rind wraps several months ago and they are now the most popular post on the blog. They’re pliable, neutral in flavor and perfect for a low carb breakfast wrap application.
I make a full batch of these low carb wraps (or keto tortillas) on the weekend so we have plenty for the whole week. They’re the perfect vehicle for tasty breakfast fillings like bacon & eggs, left over ground beef or taco meat. I’ve even filled them with Philly cheese steak for the ultimate in low carb breakfast yumminess!
If you aren’t into pork rinds, I understand. I have also used these zucchini tortillas for breakfast tacos, and they’re great. They’re much less in carbs than the low carb tortillas you can get from the store (although low carb tortillas are great and we buy them from time to time) and they put that summer zucchini glut to good use. If you are looking for something faster, consider pouring egg whites into a pan and letting them cook into a thin wrap – they work perfectly, too.
This breakfast wraps recipe calls for good ol’ scrambled eggs and bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado and salsa. It makes two servings, although my husband often eats both, but I can only eat one.
Each Low Carb Breakfast Wraps is 3 net carbs.
Bacon & Egg Breakfast Wraps with Avocado (Keto)
Ingredients
- 2 Almost Zero Carb Wraps
- 3 slices bacon cooked
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 avocado sliced
- 1/4 cup salsa
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in the pan until crisp. Remove, cut in half and set aside. Pour out all but 2 teaspoons of bacon fat. Slice the avocado.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs and half of the cheddar cheese cheese with a fork. Cook the scrambled eggs to your liking and remove from the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the wraps into the hot pan over medium heat (I had to overlap mine just a bit in the middle). Divide the scrambled eggs and place them on 1/2 of each wrap, not going past the middle. Add the avocado, bacon and remaining cheese. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the pan and cover quickly with a lid. Leave covered for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the wraps have browned a bit. Serve with salsa.

Almost Zero Carb Wraps (low carb, keto)
Do you think these could be made in advance frozen and reheated? I’m looking for something I can grab and go on the way to work.
I guess it could, Nadia. I’ve never done it, but everything is high in fat and will freeze beautifully. I would add any salsa after reheating. -Kim
what cooking method is this? and what skills do you used?
Hi Hanna. The wraps are pre-made and cooked in a frying pan. The wraps start as a batter. They are poured into pan that is preheated with a little oil. They cook on one side until the tops become dull (not shiny) then they are flipped to continue cooking. The scrambled eggs are also cooked in a pre-heated frying pan over medium to medium low heat. Once the mixed eggs are poured into the pan I used the “dig a hole and fill it up” method of pulling the cooking egg from the edge of the pan to the center. This creates sheets of cooked eggs on the bottom and runny egg on top. Then I stir the center to break it up and distribute the raw egg.
So the methods used are basic pan frying. The skills used are pouring, gauging when the wraps are ready by using my eyes, flipping the wraps, pulling the eggs to the center of the pan as they cook, stirring and gauging when the eggs have cooked enough. I’m sure culinary school graduates have the proper terms, but as a home cook, these are my cooking terms.
I hope I have answered your questions. -Kim
Can I share this to my keto support group?

Thank you for asking before sharing Stephanie. Since this post doesn’t get much traffic on my site, yes, you may share it with your group. I hope they enjoy it. I think it tastes great. -Kim
I am new to this and I hope to donit right. I’m confused as to why you add water to this recipe it confuses me. I’m not stupid but it really don’t make sense won’t it make the tortilla wet? Any help be great.
Hi Donnie. The addition of the water to the pan creates a big puff of steam which melts the cheese. Covering the pan with a lid or foil traps the steam keeping the wraps moist while they brown on the bottom. -Kim
Want to thank you for all your amazing recipes. It really helps on this journey. Only a few of them I don’t try mostly just because I am not a big seafood person lol. But thanks for all you do.
How nice, thanks Joan! Psst. I’m not a big seafood person either, but I love shrimp! Lol. Have a great day. -Kim

My husband and I just polished these off. YUM!!!! They were delicious. And it’s nice to have the accompanying low carb tortilla recipe. Thanks for an excellent addition to my low carb egg/bacon/cheese recipes.
Hi Carole! I’m glad you and your husband like the wraps. Can’t get any easier than bacon and eggs. Thanks for leaving your kind comment. Enjoy your day. -Kim
I live in the land of toast (UK), and since I waved good-bye to bread, I’ve been looking for a satisfying alternative. Your wraps look great, and when you fill them with wonderful stuff like eggs, bacon and cheese, you really have everything you’d want for breakfast!
Katrin, we eat a lot of toast here in the States, too. It’s something I miss. Luckily, I can make a loaf of the Sukrin bread mix if I want some, but wraps make things easier for sure – especially when you miss breakfast tacos! Thanks for commenting. Have a great day. -Kim
Always looking for new breakfast ideas – thanks!
