High Protein Breakfast Burrito
A delicious and customizable breakfast burrito packed with nutrients and 35 grams of protein, perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 4 large large eggs
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1 cup cooked lean turkey bacon (or your favorite protein)
- 1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
For assembly
- 4 whole whole-wheat tortillas
- Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cracking the eggs and whisking them along with the egg whites in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. As it begins to set, add the cooked turkey bacon, black beans, diced bell peppers, and onions. Stir until fully cooked.
- Just before removing it from heat, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, allowing it to melt into the delicious filling.
Assembly
- Take a warm tortilla and scoop a generous amount of the egg mixture onto the center. Wrap the tortilla around the filling, tucking in the ends to secure it.
- Serve with your favorite salsa or a dab of hot sauce for that extra kick!
Notes
Make ahead by preparing a batch and storing them in the freezer. Don't overcook the eggs; keep them fluffy and light by taking them off the heat while they're still slightly runny.
