A delightful and nutritious breakfast burrito packed with eggs, vegetables, and lean protein to jumpstart your morning.

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)

Instructions

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

For a vegetarian option, replace cooked protein with black beans. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
