Ingredients

• 4 slices turkey bacon
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium avocado
• 2 large whole-grain tortilla
• 0.5 cup low-fat shredded cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add turkey bacon slices to the skillet; cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add egg whites. Stir gently to scramble until fully cooked, then add salt, black pepper, and paprika. Transfer to a separate plate.

Step 4

Add spinach to the skillet, and sauté for about 2 minutes or until wilted.

Step 5

Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the avocado.

Step 6

Warm the whole-grain tortillas in a microwave or oven until pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the egg whites, bacon, sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado along the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Sprinkle low-fat shredded cheese on top of the fillings.

Step 9

Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 10

Slice each burrito in half and serve immediately.
