Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cups Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 large Whole wheat tortilla
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites together with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the whisked egg whites into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until they are fully set and no longer runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the cooked egg whites and allow it to melt, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, warm the whole wheat tortilla in the microwave for about 15 seconds, or in a clean skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Place the cooked eggs and cheese in the center of the warmed tortilla.
Add salsa on top of the eggs and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to form a burrito.
Slice the burrito in half and serve immediately.
