Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 cup shredded low-fat cheese
- 8 whole wheat tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- Sautéing the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Mixing the egg mixture: While the vegetables are cooking, crack the large eggs into a bowl. Add the egg whites, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk everything together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Cooking the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the softened vegetables. Cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set, around 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked black beans and shredded cheese until everything is well combined.
- Assembling the burritos: Lay out your whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the egg and bean mixture into the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides over the filling and roll the tortillas up tightly, ensuring nothing spills out.
