Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 8 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Lime
Instructions
Dice the red bell pepper into small cubes and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and the low-fat milk until well blended.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the red bell pepper. Stir slowly with a spatula until the eggs begin to set.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and the egg mixture is fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds until pliable.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into thin slices.
Divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas.
Top each taco with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Squeeze lime juice over the tacos for added flavor and serve immediately.
