Make a healthy breakfast with these great vegetarian burritos. They are full of wonderful veggies, low sodium black beans, eggs and egg whites, all wrapped up in wheat tortillas.
2 t. canola oil
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 c. canned black beans, low sodium, drained and rinsed (can substitute refried beans)
1/4 t. chili flakes
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 eggs and 4 egg whites
1/3 c. (1 1/2 oz.) pepper Jack cheese, shredded
non-stick cooking spray
4 -10 inch burrito-size tortillas, preferably wheat
1/4 c. reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 c. salsa
1 large tomato, seeded and diced
1 small avocado, cubed
spinach or arugula, optional
hot sauce
Heat the canola oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions and peppers until onions are softened and peppers are slightly charred, about 8 minutes. Add black beans and red pepper flakes; cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to a dish.
Whisk together eggs and egg whites; stir in cheese.
Spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray; reheat the skillet over a medium heat. Reduce heat to low; add eggs, scrambling until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Spread each tortilla with 1 T. sour cream and 1 T. salsa; layer with 1/4 of the black bean mixture, 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, a little spinach, some diced tomato and 1/4 of the avocado. Sprinkle on hot sauce, to taste. Roll up burrito-style. Serve.
