Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • - 4 large whole wheat tortillas or low-carb / spinach tortillas
  • - 4 large eggs hard-boiled and peeled
  • - 2 medium ripe Hass avocados
  • - 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • - 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • - 2 tbsp scallions green onions, chopped
  • - 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • - 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • - 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • - 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika divided
  • - 1/4 tsp red chili flakes divided
  • - 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil EVOO for pan-searing

Method
 

  1. Slice two of the hard-boiled eggs completely in half lengthways and set aside for the center slices. Roughly chop the remaining two hard-boiled eggs.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the avocados, fresh lemon juice, Greek yogurt, sea salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until chunky yet spreadable.
  3. Gently fold the chopped eggs, diced red onion, chopped scallions, fresh parsley, and fresh dill into the mashed avocado mixture.
  4. Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Spread one-quarter of the avocado egg salad mixture across the middle, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the outer edges.
  5. Place two hard-boiled egg halves face-up along the center line. Lightly dust the egg halves with a pinch of smoked paprika and red chili flakes.
  6. Fold the sides inward slightly, then roll the tortilla up tightly into a clean log shape. Repeat for all four tortillas.
  7. Brush the exterior of each roll-up lightly with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  8. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place roll-ups seam-side down first and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and toasted.
  9. Transfer to a cutting board, slice in half or into pinwheel rounds, garnish with extra green onions and paprika, and serve warm.

Notes

- To keep avocados bright green during meal prep, ensure fresh lemon juice is mixed thoroughly into the mash.
- Store filling separately in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly against the surface for up to 24 hours.
