Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup scrambled eggs (about 4 large eggs)

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), diced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or vegan cheese)

1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: avocado slices or salsa for topping

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Start by washing and chopping all the vegetables. Dice the bell peppers, quarter the cherry tomatoes, and chop the spinach.

    Scramble the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika. In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble until fully cooked (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.

      Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and bell peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the veggies are tender and the spinach has wilted. Stir in the black beans.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the scrambled eggs back into the skillet with the sautéed veggies. Mix well to combine everything evenly. If you're using cheese, stir it in now until melted and mixed.

          Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the egg and veggie mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Add some cherry tomatoes on top.

            Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the bottom up and tightly fold to secure everything inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

              Serve: Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve with optional toppings like avocado slices or salsa. Enjoy your quick and healthy breakfast!
