Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup spinach
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the low-fat milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the black beans to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they're warmed through. Remove the beans from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Step 6
Add the cheddar cheese and the warmed black beans to the scrambled eggs and spinach. Mix everything together until the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are pliable.
Step 8
Divide the egg, spinach, and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla into a burrito by folding in the sides and then rolling the bottom up and over the filling.
Step 9
Serve the burritos immediately while warm, or wrap in foil for a grab-and-go breakfast option.
