A hearty and nutritious breakfast burrito filled with eggs, lean protein, colorful veggies, and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 large Egg Whites
  • 1 cup Cooked Lean Protein (turkey sausage, chicken, or black beans)
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup Onion (yellow or red)
  • 1 cup Spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 2 large Whole Wheat or Spinach Tortillas
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Salsa or Hot Sauce
  • 1 medium Avocado (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
  2. Sauté the onions until they soften, then add in the bell peppers and spinach, cooking until tender.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites, then pour this mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Season with ground cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook until the eggs are set.
  4. Stir in your choice of cooked lean protein and heat through.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon the egg mixture onto it, then add cheese and sliced avocado.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to make a burrito.
  7. Toast the burritos seam-side down in the skillet until golden brown, with the cheese melted—about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  8. Slice the burrito in half and enjoy with fresh salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

For the ultimate breakfast experience, serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. You can freeze the assembled burritos before toasting for up to 2 months.
