Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Protein-rich cheese
- 4 medium Whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups Spinach
- 1 cup Black beans
- 1 cup Chopped bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites together until well combined. Add salt and pepper for seasoning.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the chopped bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add the black beans to the skillet and combine with the vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes without stirring, allowing the edges to set.
Once the edges begin to set, gently stir the eggs to scramble them slightly with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the protein-rich cheese over the egg mixture and allow it to melt slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.
Divide the egg and cheese mixture evenly among the 4 tortillas.
Fold the sides of each tortilla inwards and roll them up to enclose the filling.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your high protein cheese tortilla.
