Ingredients

• 4 large eggs worth Egg whites
• 0.25 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Cooked black beans (low-sodium)
• 1 cup Baby spinach
• 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 piece Whole wheat tortilla (8-inch)
• 1 stalk Green onion
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 small spray Olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Lightly spray a nonstick skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat.

Step 2

Dice the cherry tomatoes and slice the green onion thinly. Set aside.

Step 3

Add the egg whites to the skillet and stir gently to scramble. Cook for 2–3 minutes until set but still fluffy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the whole wheat tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make it pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the burrito, lay the tortilla flat. Start by layering the cooked spinach in the center, leaving space at the edges for folding.

Step 7

Add the scrambled egg whites, black beans, diced cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onion on top of the spinach.

Step 8

Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese evenly and season with red pepper flakes and black pepper.

Step 9

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a neatly wrapped burrito.

Step 10

Optionally, add a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce before rolling for an extra kick.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat but still delicious breakfast burrito!
