Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable Filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Additional:

  • 4 whole wheat or low-carb tortillas
  • Salsa and avocado slices for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or water, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Cook Vegetable Filling: Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened. Stir in spinach, then add black beans and cook until heated through.
  3. Scramble Eggs: Push veggies to the side of the skillet, pour in the eggs, and scramble until fully cooked. Mix everything together and remove from heat.
  4. Assemble Burritos: Warm tortillas, spoon in the egg mixture, top with cheese, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly into a burrito.
  5. Serve: Enjoy immediately or wrap in foil for future use.

Notes

  • Customize with turkey sausage, hot sauce, or sweet potatoes.
  • To freeze, wrap each burrito tightly in foil and store in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
