“You Can’t Eat Tortillas Anymore.” So We Did This!

Описание: Looking for a diabetic friendly breakfast burrito, low glycemic breakfast, or low carb tortilla substitute? This sweet potato breakfast burrito is a game-changing pre-diabetic meal idea that skips flour tortillas and helps avoid blood sugar spikes.

Nate just found out he’s pre-diabetic, so we made a low glycemic, high protein breakfast burrito using a homemade sweet potato tortilla instead of bread or flour tortillas — and it actually works.

🥔 Why sweet potatoes?
Sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than traditional flour tortillas and white bread, meaning they digest more slowly and are less likely to cause rapid blood sugar spikes. For anyone managing pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, or blood sugar control, choosing lower glycemic carbs can help support steadier glucose levels and sustained energy.

Instead of a spike-and-crash breakfast, you get balanced fuel.

🔥 HOW WE MAKE THE SWEET POTATO TORTILLA:

Thin slice sweet potatoes (4mm on a mandolin)
Cook on a flat top grill (Blackstone-style cooking)
Light oil for flexibility
Melt shredded cheese to bind slices together
Flip carefully to create a pliable, rollable tortilla alternative

No flour.
No corn tortillas.
No gluten.
No traditional bread.

Then we build the ultimate high protein breakfast burrito:
Seasoned ground turkey
Flat top scrambled eggs
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Cholula hot sauce

The sweet potato caramelizes for roasted flavor while staying bendable enough to fold. It’s not crispy — it’s flexible. That’s the key to making this low carb burrito actually work.
