Ingredients
  

4 large whole eggs

½ cup egg whites

1 cup cooked black beans (canned or homemade)

1 cup cooked quinoa

½ cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup fresh spinach

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

4 whole grain or high-protein tortillas

½ cup shredded low-fat cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Salsa for serving (optional)

Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg whites. Season with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked black beans, quinoa, diced bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh spinach until well combined.

    Cook the Egg Mixture: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, scrambling gently as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked, and the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

      Warm the Tortillas: In another dry skillet, warm each tortilla over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side until pliable. This helps prevent them from tearing when you roll them.

        Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the egg filling onto the center of the tortilla. Top with some sliced avocado and shredded cheese.

          Roll the Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking it tightly as you go. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Serve: Optionally, toast the burritos in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to get a crispy exterior. Slice in half for easier handling, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with salsa on the side.
