Ingredients

• 4 slices Low-sodium bacon
• 1 large Whole wheat tortilla
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 medium Avocado
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by chopping the red bell pepper into small cubes and the green onions into thin slices. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the low-sodium bacon slices. Cook them until crispy, about 4-5 minutes, turning frequently. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Drain most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about a teaspoon. If using a non-stick pan, you may use the olive oil instead. Add the chopped bell pepper and green onions, sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, gently stirring with a spatula to scramble the eggs. Cook until the eggs are set, about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable.

Step 7

Mash the half avocado in a small bowl, then spread it over the center of the tortilla.

Step 8

Layer the scrambled eggs and vegetables on top of the avocado. Crumble the crispy bacon over the egg mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the filling.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom, tightly tucking in the filling to form a burrito.

Step 11

Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
