Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large Whole wheat tortilla
- 2 tablespoons Salsa
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites, skim milk, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes or until softened.
Add the sliced green onions to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg white mixture into the skillet. Stir occasionally with a spatula for about 4-5 minutes or until the egg whites are fully cooked and scrambled.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese over the scrambled eggs and let it melt slightly.
Meanwhile, warm the whole wheat tortilla in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until pliable.
Place the tortilla on a flat surface and spoon the scrambled egg mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
Top the egg mixture with salsa.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom. Ensure it's tightly wrapped.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat breakfast burrito.
