Ingredients 

CHERRY TOMATO-AVOCADO SALSA

  • ½ avocado, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • cups quartered cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Dash of salt

BURRITOS

  • 4 whole wheat flour tortillas, 7-8 inches in diameter
  • 3/4 cup cooked beans, cannellini, pinto, etc.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the avocado and lime juice. Stir in cherry tomatoes, cumin, and salt. Cover and set aside.
  • Place stack of tortillas on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, mash beans with a fork. Cover bowl and microwave for 45 seconds or so, until hot. Keep covered so they will stay warm.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add egg mixture to skillet and scramble until cooked. Remove from heat.
  • Microwave tortillas 30 to 45 seconds or until hot.
  • Spread mashed beans in a strip down the center of each tortilla, then add ¼ of the eggs and about 2 tablespoons salsa. Fold in the bottom and then the sides to create a burrito. Serve with remaining salsa.

Notes

Gluten-free? Use corn tortillas instead of whole wheat.
Extremely low-carb? Skip the tortilla and beans. Just eat the eggs & salsa
