Scrambled Egg Burritos

These zesty Southwestern egg burritos are always a hit whether you serve them for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a casual dinner. The homemade black bean salsa adds a special touch, but these are extra-quick if you use your favorite jarred salsa.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 4 servings
Ease of Prep: Easy

 

Recipe Ingredients

  4 9-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas
  4 large eggs
  1/8 teaspoon salt
  Freshly ground pepper to taste
  1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles
  1/2 cup grated Cheddar or pepper Jack cheese
  2 cups Black Bean & Tomato Salsa (recipe follows) or prepared salsa
  1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Recipe Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Blend eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl with a fork until blended. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add chiles and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add eggs and cook, stirring slowly with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula, until soft, fluffy curds form, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
  3. To serve, divide eggs evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons cheese and roll up. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapenos with a fiery taste that are canned in adobo sauce. Look for them in the Hispanic section of large supermarkets and in specialty stores.

Two Easy Ways to Heat Tortillas:
Microwave: Stack 4 tortillas between damp paper towels and microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until hot and pliable.
Oven: Preheat oven to 300°F. Stack tortillas (about 4 in a batch) and wrap tightly in foil. Place in oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until warm.

Health Advantages: low calorie, high fiber, high calcium.
