Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 2 large whole-grain tortilla
- 0.5 cup low-fat shredded cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add turkey bacon slices to the skillet; cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add egg whites. Stir gently to scramble until fully cooked, then add salt, black pepper, and paprika. Transfer to a separate plate.
Add spinach to the skillet, and sauté for about 2 minutes or until wilted.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the avocado.
Warm the whole-grain tortillas in a microwave or oven until pliable.
To assemble the burritos, lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the egg whites, bacon, sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado along the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle low-fat shredded cheese on top of the fillings.
Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Slice each burrito in half and serve immediately.
