Prepare Ingredients.
Gather all ingredients. If using canned black beans, rinse and drain them well under cold water. Measure out the egg whites, salsa, and olive oil.
Tip: Rinsing canned beans reduces sodium and improves flavor. -
Heat the Pan.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Let it warm up for about 1 minute until shimmering but not smoking.
Tip: Use medium heat to avoid burning the oil. -
Cook the Egg Whites.
Pour the 6 large egg whites into the heated pan. Stir gently with a spatula to scramble them evenly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and no longer runny.
Tip: Stir continuously to get fluffy scrambled egg whites. -
Warm the Black Beans.
Add the 1/4 cup of black beans to the pan with the cooked egg whites. Stir gently and cook together for 1-2 minutes until the beans are warmed through.
Tip: Warming the beans with the eggs helps blend flavors. -
Heat the Tortilla.
In a separate dry skillet or microwave, warm the whole wheat tortilla for about 20 seconds until soft and pliable. This makes it easier to roll without cracking.
Tip: If using a skillet, warm each side for about 15 seconds. -
Assemble the Burrito.
Place the warmed tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon the egg whites and black beans mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Add 1/4 cup of salsa on top.
Tip: Leave space at the edges to fold the tortilla easily. -
Roll the Burrito.
Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly until the burrito is sealed.
Tip: Rolling tightly helps keep the filling inside while eating. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Cut the burrito in half if desired and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious breakfast burrito!
Tip: Pair with fresh fruit or a glass of juice for a complete meal.
Pro tips
