A quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast burrito featuring fluffy egg whites, creamy avocado, and wholesome ingredients, perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml or 6 fl oz)
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch/25 cm)
  • 1/2 cup cooked or canned black beans, rinsed (optional)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional hot sauce (chipotle or sriracha)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Dice the red bell pepper, chop the cilantro, slice the avocado, and rinse and drain the black beans if using. Warm the tortillas.
  2. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, pepper, and ground cumin until slightly frothy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced red bell pepper for 2-3 minutes until softened but vibrant. Add black beans and cook for another minute (approx. 5 minutes total).
  4. Pour the whisked egg whites over the vegetables and gently fold with a spatula. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until eggs are just set but still moist (4-5 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Lay a warm tortilla flat, spread sliced avocado down the center, then spoon the egg white mixture on top. Add hot sauce if desired.
  7. Fold in the sides and roll the burrito tightly. Optionally, place seam side down in the skillet for 1-2 minutes to seal and add a slight crisp.
  8. Serve immediately or slice in half to enjoy.

Notes

Cook egg whites on medium-low heat to keep them tender and avoid rubberiness. Whisk egg whites until frothy for fluffiness. Use ripe avocado with slight give for creamy texture. Rinse canned beans to reduce sodium. For a crisp burrito, pan-sear seam side down after wrapping. For gluten-free, substitute tortillas with corn or low-carb wraps. Add hot sauce for spice if desired.
