• 4 medium Whole wheat tortillas
• 2 cups Spinach
• 1 cup Black beans
• 1 cup Chopped bell peppers
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites together until well combined. Add salt and pepper for seasoning.

Step 2

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

Add the chopped bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Add the black beans to the skillet and combine with the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes without stirring, allowing the edges to set.

Sprinkle the protein-rich cheese over the egg mixture and allow it to melt slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or until soft and pliable.
