While waking up to a hot, fully loaded breakfast burrito is a pleasant way to start the day, the traditional version tends to be full of carbohydrates and fat. In order to minimize the carb load, you can use collard greens instead of a tortilla. This gluten-free version also adds much-needed nutrients to the meal, while keeping it tasty and satisfying.
