Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs worth Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Cooked black beans (low-sodium)
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 piece Whole wheat tortilla (8-inch)
- 1 stalk Green onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small spray Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Lightly spray a nonstick skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Dice the cherry tomatoes and slice the green onion thinly. Set aside.
Add the egg whites to the skillet and stir gently to scramble. Cook for 2–3 minutes until set but still fluffy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make it pliable.
To assemble the burrito, lay the tortilla flat. Start by layering the cooked spinach in the center, leaving space at the edges for folding.
Add the scrambled egg whites, black beans, diced cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onion on top of the spinach.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly and season with red pepper flakes and black pepper.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a neatly wrapped burrito.
Optionally, add a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce before rolling for an extra kick.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat but still delicious breakfast burrito!
