Ingredients

For the crepes:
6 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 cup milk (soy, almond or cow’s milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup potato starch
1 cup tapioca flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the filling:
Olive oil
3 cups kale, chopped
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
3 cups cooked sweet potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound cooked bacon
4 eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Preparation

1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, water, milk, vanilla and melted butter.
2. Continue whisking in potato starch, tapioca flour and salt until mixed thoroughly.
3. Using a fine strainer or slotted spoon remove lumps.
4. Warm a greased crepe pan or small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5. Add a fourth to a third of a cup of batter to pan so it covers the bottom in a thin layer. (Batter should be very runny.)
6. Cook for two to three minutes, or until bubbling. Use a spatula to flip your crepe and cook an additional one to two minutes.
7. Remove crepe from stove and let cool flat.
8. Continue making crepes until all batter has been used.
9. To prepare the filling, heat another large skillet and add a small amount of olive oil.
10. Once hot, sauté onions, garlic and mushrooms until tender.
11. Add in kale and sweet potato and continue cooking until all vegetables are tender and begin to brown.
12. Remove vegetables from heat and place them in a medium bowl.
13. In same skillet, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, add to the bowl with the vegetables.
14. Mix in shredded cheese (if using) and cooked bacon.
15. To make, place crepes on a work surface and divide the egg, vegetable and bacon filling among the wraps.
16. Fold in the ends and roll up the burritos tightly; cut in half.

Pro tip

Wrap your burritos in parchment paper and then foil if you want to store them in the refrigerator (up to one week) or the freezer (up to two months.)
