Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Unseasoned canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup diced Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 large Whole wheat tortillas
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack and whisk the eggs with black pepper and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
Add the baby spinach and canned black beans to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, stirring continuously, and scramble until they are fully cooked and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle the low sodium cheddar cheese over the scrambled eggs, and let it melt slowly.
Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier rolling, if desired.
Spoon an even portion of the egg and veggie mixture onto each tortilla.
Roll the tortillas up tightly into burritos, tucking in the sides as you roll.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro if using.
