Ingredients
  

  • 2 egg whites
  • ΒΌ small red onion chopped
  • 4-5 fresh spinach leaves chopped
  • 1 green chili chopped
  • small piece of red & green bell pepper chopped
  • cilantro chopped
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • salsa used store bought
  • 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • cheese of your choice mexican or monteray jack
  • For the tortilla:
  • whole wheat flour kneaded

Instructions
 

  • Separate egg whites in a bowl. Add all the chopped veggies along with salt and pepper. Whisk it well so that everything is mixed well.
  • Heat the pan and a flat griddle for the tortilla. Take some dough and roll between the palms and make a ball about the size of golf ball. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thin big round. Make sure you roll it enough so that the tortilla is not very thick. You can use the store bought tortillas too, if you like.
  • Place it on the griddle and cook until done.
  • Instead of making scrambled eggs, I chose to make an omelette with all the veggies in it. It was easy to assemble the burrito and less messy to eat. Heat the pan, add olive oil or the cooking spray whatever you prefer. If you are looking for less fat, then cooking spray will be your best bet. Pour the mixture and cook on a medium heat until done on one side. Flip the omelette and cook on the other side.
  • When your tortilla and omelette are done, place the omelette on top of the tortilla and sprinkle with cheese, salsa and sour cream if you are using. Start rolling from one end and when half way through tuck in the sides and roll all the way.
  • Your burrito is ready to be served with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
  • Serve hot and enjoy this easy and healthy breakfast burrito for your busy mornings.
