Italian ~ Mexican ~ American Breakfast Burittos

Italian ~ Mexican ~ American ~ Breakfast Burittos

Italian ~ Mexican ~ American ~ Breakfast Burritos


These meatless/dairy free breakfast burritos have 12 grams of protein and 179 mg of calcium.  Not a shabby start to the day for a breakfast without meat or daily.  Eggs cooked in olive oil and topped with balsamic vinegar is a traditional breakfast staple in Italy.  Now throwing this into a tortilla adds a little Mexican flair.  The fusion of both makes this completely American.

Fresh Kale from my garden

Kale - about 1-1/2 cups
Minced Garlic 1-2 cloves
Olive Oil - 1 Tbsp total
Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper - to taste
2 Eggs - Scrambled
1-2 Gluten Free Tortillas (depending on size)


Sauté your kale with olive oil over med-high heat until slightly wilted.  Add in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.  Drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar and cook for an additional 30 seconds - minute, just enough to cook off some of the vinegars sharpness.  Drop heat to medium, add another drizzle of olive oil and add in two scrambled eggs seasoned with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Cook until finished, remove from heat and set aside.  In the same pan drizzle with olive oil and cook your GF tortillas (I used corn) until done.  If dairy is not an issue you could at this point top your tortillas with a sharp Italian cheese like, Parmesan, Romano or Asiago. (This will only help up your calcium intake)  Add your eggs and then top with a drizzle with an aged Balsamic Vinegar.

ENJOY!                                       © Gluten Free in GB

Pizza Again? Not when you add the Bold, Sweet & Smokiness of Barbecue Sauce!

B-B-Q Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

Ingredients I used to make this delicious Pizza option

1 Pkg. of Chebe Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix (Any GF Crust can be substituted)
8 oz of Pizza Sauce (About 1 cups)
2 cups of chopped cooked chicken
2 cups of Mozzarella Cheese or Daiya Mozzarella Shreds

Optional Ingredients:
Chopped Cilantro
Sliced Red Onion


Crust:
Make Your Crust according to directions.  I use Chebe Pizza Crust Mix, and pre-bake it for about 8-10 minutes.  Just till golden brown.  This will give you a crispier crust.

Sauce:
This truly couldn't get ANY easier!  Use or make your favorite B-B-Q Sauce.  I use Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar.  (I have emailed their company and most of their products are Gluten Free AND good!)

Toppings:
Spread the sauce over the entire pizza crust.  I add about 1/2 of the cheese at this time.
Top with the 2 cups of cooked chicken.  I grill mine (seasoned with just salt, pepper and garlic powder), it just add a little more flavor.
(If your going to use the Sliced Red Onions and/or Chopped Cilantro - add them now)
Top with the remaining cheese and place into the pre-heated oven at 425 degrees for 8 - 14 minutes.
 Let the cheese set (just like you would with lasagna) before cutting.  Trust me on this one!  It will make cutting much easier.                      

ENJOY!                                                                            © Gluten Free in GB

This one is topped with both of the optional ingredients:  Sliced Red Onion & Chopped Cilantro.

Buffalo Chicken Ranch Pizza

Ingredients:
1 Pkg. of Chebe Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix (Any GF Crust can be substituted)
15 oz of Pizza Sauce (About 2 cups)
1/2 cup (Mild)  3/4 cup (Medium)  1 cup (Hot)   Buffalo Wing Sauce
2 cups of chopped cooked chicken
2 cups of Mozzarella Cheese or Daiya Mozzarella Shreds
Gluten Free Ranch Dressing for garnish or dipping

Optional Ingredients:
Blue Cheese Crumbles
Red Onion


Crust:
Make Your Crust according to directions.  I use Chebe Pizza Crust Mix, and pre-bake it for about 8-10 minutes.  Just till golden brown.  This will give you a crispier crust.

Sauce:
Take about 15 ounces (Just about 2 cups) of your favorite Gluten Free Pizza Sauce and place into a mixing bowl.  I use Dei Fratelli; they use all natural ingredients, no added dairy and are clearly labeled Gluten Free.
Add your wing sauce to the pizza sauce.  I use Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Sauce.  We use 3/4 cup.  It gives it a definitely "Buffalo" flavor with zip, not too much heat.  When mixing start with 1/2 cup; taste and increase by 1/4 cup. This will make enough sauce for 2 - 4 pizzas.  You can freeze the unused portion for busy week nights.

Toppings:
Spread the sauce over the entire pizza crust.  I add about 1/2 of the cheese at this time.
Top with the 2 cups of cooked chicken.  I grill mine (seasoned with just salt, pepper and garlic powder), it just add a little more flavor.
(If your going to use the Red Onions and/or Blue Cheese Crumbles - add them now)
Top with the remaining cheese and place into the pre-heated oven at 425 degrees for 8 - 14 minutes.
 Let the cheese set (just like you would with lasagna) before cutting.  Trust me on this one!  It will make cutting much easier.

 Garnish with your Gluten Free Ranch (Hidden Valley IS Gluten Free, but not dairy free) or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
ENJOY!
