Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole grain tortillas
- 8 large egg whites
- 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium avocado
Directions
Step 1
Begin by chopping the red bell pepper and onion into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the egg white mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and stir in the low-fat cheddar cheese until it is melted and evenly distributed.
Step 8
Warm the whole grain tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds each.
Step 9
Divide the egg and vegetable mixture equally among the four tortillas. Peel and slice the avocado, and add slices to each burrito as desired.
Step 10
Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately.
