Ingredients

• 1 egg and 2 egg whites (or 2 whole eggs)
• 1/4 c. canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 c. green bell pepper
• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 (6-inch) whole-wheat tortilla
• 2 Tbsp. shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 Tbsp. salsa (optional)

Directions

Mix the eggs with a fork or beater. Add beans and peppers. Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray, or use a small amount of butter. Cook until egg mixture is set. Fill tortilla with egg mixture and top with salsa and cheese if desired.

Cooking tip: If you prefer, you can saute the peppers for a minute or two prior to adding the eggs and beans. If you roll/fold your burrito, microwaving the tortilla for 10 seconds makes it fold more easily.

Time-saving tip:  Pre-make burritos and freeze. When needed, microwave and enjoy.

Money-saving tip:  If you use some egg whites instead of whole eggs, save the uncooked egg yolks for future use. Pour into an airtight container and add a pinch of salt or 1 1/2 tsp. sugar for every four yolks. Label and place in the freezer until needed. The egg yolks can be used in meatballs or meatloaf to "bind" the ingredients.

Makes one serving.
