Ingredients:
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas (or your favorite type!)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 tablespoon salsa
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- Optional: Hot sauce, sour cream, Greek yogurt
Instructions:
- Prep the veggies: Finely chop the bell pepper and onion. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.
- Scramble the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or cooking spray in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until cooked through. Don't overcook! Slightly soft eggs are best.
- Sauté the veggies: Add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the pan with the scrambled eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Assemble the wrap: Lay out your tortillas. Divide the scrambled eggs and veggies evenly between the two tortillas. Top with black beans, cheese, and salsa.
- Warm the wrap (optional): For a warm and melty wrap, you can quickly heat it in a microwave for 30 seconds, or in a pan over low heat for a minute or two, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is warmed through.
- Add the finishing touch: Top with sliced avocado and your favorite hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
Tips for the Best Wake Up Wrap:
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of chili powder or cumin to the eggs for extra flavor.
- Veggie variations: Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
- Protein boost: Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for an extra protein boost.
- Make it ahead: Prepare the scrambled eggs and veggies ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Assemble the wraps in the morning for a super speedy breakfast.
