Ingredients

• 4 large whole wheat tortillas

• 6 large eggs (or 1½ cups egg whites for a lower-fat version)

• ½ cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)

• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)

• ½ pound lean ground turkey, chicken, or tofu (optional for extra protein)

• ¼ cup diced bell peppers

• ¼ cup diced onions

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

• ¼ cup Greek yogurt or salsa (for serving)

Directions

1. Cook the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened (3-4 minutes).

2. Cook the protein: Add the ground turkey or tofu to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook until browned (5-6 minutes).

3. Add eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then pour them into the skillet with the vegetables and protein. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until just set.

4. Add beans: Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional minute until everything is heated through.

5. Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.

6. Assemble the burritos: Place a portion of the egg mixture in the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up the burrito.

7. Toast the burritos (optional): For a crispy texture, toast the burritos in the skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.

8. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for meal prep. Serve with Greek yogurt or salsa on the side.
