Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup scrambled eggs (approximately 4 large eggs)

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

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

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or vegan cheese, if preferred)

1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Slices of avocado or salsa to top

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Begin by thoroughly washing all your vegetables. Dice the bell peppers into small pieces, quarter the cherry tomatoes, and chop the fresh spinach into bite-sized pieces.

    Scramble the Eggs: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, adding a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika for flavor. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture and stir gently. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Sauté the Veggies: Without cleaning the skillet, add the chopped spinach and diced bell peppers. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are soft and the spinach has wilted. Fold in the black beans and mix well until heated through.

        Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the scrambled eggs back into the skillet with the sautéed veggies and black beans. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution. If you’re using cheese, add it at this point, stirring until it melts and combines into the mixture.

          Assemble the Burritos: Take a whole wheat tortilla and lay it flat on a clean plate. Spoon a generous serving of the egg and veggie mixture into the center of the tortilla. Top with a few quartered cherry tomatoes for added freshness.

            Wrap it Up: To wrap the burrito, fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling first, then roll the bottom up tightly to encase the filling, making sure it's secure. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

              Serve: For an attractive presentation, cut the burritos in half diagonally before serving. Offer optional toppings like slices of avocado or a side of salsa for added flavor and garnish. Enjoy this quick, nutritious breakfast that delights both kids and adults alike!
