4 medium whole-grain tortilla
6 eggs, beaten
1 bell pepper, diced
2 large handfuls baby spinach, torn
2 tsp olive or canola oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Your favourite toppings (e.g. salsa, cheese)
Recipe Directions:
Whisk the egg and season with salt and pepper.
In a medium pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add the peppers and sauté until soft, about 5-minutes. Add the spinach and sauté another 2 minutes.
Pour the egg over the peppers and spinach. Stir until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Scoop your eggs into the center of the tortilla. Top with any other toppings you like (e.g. salsa, cheese)

Tip:
For a batch meal, wrap the burritos individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer in a sealable plastic bag or container. When you’re ready to eat them, remove plastic wrap and microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Suggested pairing: your favourite fruit and gaucamole to dip your burrito in
