Avocado Egg Pizza

Good morning world! I woke up this morning feeling very positive. I have a few changes I'm hoping to make in my life, and this morning I believed that I could, which is a great start. Speaking of great starts, I wanted to have a special breakfast this morning. Something different than my usual meal. Starting off your day with a healthy, delicious, fulfilling meal is the best choice you can make!

I finally have some avocados again (after going a couple weeks without any), so I needed to make something with avo. I NEEDED to. I was having withdrawal. Here is the recipe (incredibly simple) for my avocado egg pizza. It was exactly what I was looking for and more. It was so tasty! And easy. And filling.


Ingredients:

1 ancient grains tortilla (Or any tortilla of your choice. I used the smaller sized tortilla since it was just for me, but feel free to go bigger!)
1/2 avocado, mashed (Again, if you are using a bigger tortilla, you might want to use a whole avocado. Up to you!)
1 egg (Or two if you wanna load it up! I used cage free.)
Cayenne pepper (optional, to taste)
Cumin (optional, to taste)
Lemon juice (optional, to taste)
Minced garlic (optional, to taste)
Sea salt (optional, to taste)
Fresh ground pepper (optional, to taste)
Hot sauce (optional, to taste)

First, I made my avocado spread. If you'd like, you can just mash up your avocado and use that. They are so yummy that you don't really need any extras. But I added lemon juice (a few drops), a few shakes of cayenne pepper and cumin, a pinch of sea salt, and about 1/4 tsp. of minced garlic and mixed it all up. 

Next, you need to toast your tortilla for your pizza crust (unless you'd prefer a soft shell!) I used a toaster oven. The smaller tortilla fit right in my toaster oven, so I put it directly on the rack and toasted for a few minutes until it turned a nice brown and started to get crispy. Cook to desired crispiness! You could probably also use a grill or oven, just to give your tortilla a nice crispy crunch.

Meanwhile, while my tortilla was toasting, I cooked my egg. Again, cook your egg however you like it. I made mine sunny side up with a little salt and pepper. But any type of egg would be great on top!

Finally, you just need to construct your pizza. Spread the avocado onto the tortilla and top with your egg. I added a little more pepper and cayenne pepper to the top, and I finished it off with a drizzle of hot sauce. Feel free to add any additional toppings (cheese, veggies, spices, whatever!). Cut pizza and dive in!

It was so good that I literally wanted to dive right in to the center and live there for as long as I could. Especially when I got to the few bites with the runny egg yolk. There's just something about the combination of egg yolk with avocado that makes my heart sing.


I paired my pizza with a Green Dream smoothie by Tara Stiles, once again. But this time, I added some vanilla extract, chia seeds, a tablespoon of almond butter, and topped it with cinnamon, flax seeds, and blueberries.



Such a perfect breakfast. Now, I'm ready to kick today's butt and put some of these changes into motion. Love you all! And thank you for reading. Don't forget to comment below or email me (wellnessbynicky@gmail.com) with any questions, suggestions, or greetings.

And as always: ENJOY! Have a great day, my friends. :)
