Description

A delicious and nutritious breakfast burrito filled with eggs, vegetables, and protein.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large whole eggs
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
  • 4 whole grain tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add diced bell peppers and spinach to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites. Add ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir until eggs are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Mix in the black beans and shredded chicken.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat, add a generous portion of the egg mixture down the center, and sprinkle with cheese. Top with sliced avocado. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.
