Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

½ cup egg whites (about 4 egg whites)

1 cup spinach, chopped

½ cup bell peppers, diced (red or green)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup black beans, drained and rinsed

¼ cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

4 whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the spinach has wilted. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.

    Cook the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg whites until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture and cook on medium-low heat, stirring gently until the eggs are just set but still creamy (about 3-5 minutes).

      Combine Ingredients: Once the eggs are cooked, gently fold in the sautéed vegetables and black beans. Mix everything together until evenly distributed, then remove from heat.

        Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the egg and veggie mixture evenly among the tortillas, leaving space at the edges for folding. Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.

          Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of each tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito shape. Make sure to enclose the filling completely.

            Optional Toasting: If desired, wipe the skillet clean and place the assembled burritos seam-side down on the skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Slice the burritos in half and serve warm. Garnish with fresh cilantro on top and offer salsa on the side for dipping.
