Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • 4 Large Eggs or 6 egg whites for a leaner version
  • 1 Cup Black Beans drained and rinsed (240g)
  • ½ Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese 60g
  • 1 Cup Fresh Spinach 30g
  • 1 Medium Bell Pepper diced
  • ½ Medium Onion diced
  • ½ Teaspoon Chili Powder 2.5g
  • ½ Teaspoon Cumin 2.5g
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 15ml
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions and bell peppers. Saute for about 5 minutes until they’re tender.
  3. Sprinkle the cumin and chili powder, then add the beans. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  4. Push everything to one side of the skillet, and pour in the eggs on the other side. Stir gently to scramble them, cooking until just done.
  5. Layer spinach on each tortilla, followed by the scrambled eggs and bean mixture. Top it all off with a sprinkle of cheese.
  6. Roll each tortilla, tucking in the ends as you go, creating your delicious burritos.
  7. Serve while they’re still warm, and enjoy every protein-packed bite!

Notes

TIPS
1. If you’re a spice lover, feel free to add in some jalapenos or hot sauce.
2. If you have leftovers, these burritos freeze wonderfully. Wrap them individually and store them in the freezer. They’ll be perfect for those busy mornings.
3. To reheat, just pop the frozen burrito in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, and it’ll be as good as new!
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
These High Protein Breakfast Burritos are a meal in themselves. However, you can always pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for added nutrients. If you’re serving them for brunch or a larger breakfast, consider a side of hash browns or grilled tomatoes.
