Ingredients

2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 small red onion, diced (1 cup)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 cup drained, rinsed canned black beans, preferably low-sodium
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs and 4 egg whites
1/3 cup (about 1 1/2-ounce) shredded pepper Jack cheese
Cooking spray
4 (10-inch) whole-wheat tortillas (burrito-size)
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup salsa
1 large tomato, (4 ounces) seeded and diced
1 small avocado (4 ounces), cubed
Hot sauce

Directions

Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat. Cook the onions and peppers until onions are softened and peppers are slightly charred, about 8 minutes. Add black beans and red pepper flakes and cook until warmed through, another 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a dish.

Whisk together the eggs and egg whites then stir in the cheese. Spray the skillet with cooking spray, and reheat the skillet over a medium heat. Reduce heat to low and add eggs, scrambling until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon each sour cream and salsa, then layer with 1/4 of the black bean mixture, 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, some diced tomato and 1/4 of the avocado. Season, to taste, with hot sauce. Roll up burrito-style and serve.

Good recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was surprised how much flavor these burritos had...really good flavor. The serving size was enormous too---both my... boyfriend and I were extremely full after one each. Also, since my boyfriend is a meat eater, I substituted chicken instead of avocado, which I cooked in the pan before adding the onion/pepper mixture.Read more

What a winner of a recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a fantastic recipe. My husband really likes to have meat with his dinner (I made this for dinner) so I added two... chicken apple sausages. I used Newmans own pineapple salsa as a nice pairing with the chicken apple sausage. Chicken sausage has 70% less fat that traditional sausage. This is not a 'pick it up and eat it with your hands' kind of burrito...get out the knife and fork and you wont't walk away hungry. I will make this again and again. Read more

YUMMY!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is an excellent recipe! I made one for my daughter and I to have after our morning jog. I prepared them before we left... and wrapped them in foil to keep them warm. She wasn't to thrilled about having the red peppers and avocado added on it at first but was very surprized after she started eating it saying "YUM" as she ate it! We had them again the next day!

Delish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for breakfast and it was very good. Nice change from the eggs and toast. I omitted the tomatoes and avocados since... I didn't have any on hand but this still came out amazing!Read more

Healthy and satisfying!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great and quick recipe to satiate the stomach and the tongue!!! I had some left over white eyed beans which I... added to the burrito upping the nutrition quotient. I also added roasted garlic and fresh chopped cilantro to make it more flavorful. Thanks Ellie for a superb recipe!Read more
