The avocado will give you plenty of potassium (which is often hard to find on a low carb or ketogenic diet), copper, folate, B5 and B6 while the ricotta cheese balances the flavour profile with some phosphorus and calcium.  

The nutritional yeast fills in the B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12 while salt and sriracha sauce round out the taste!
