This is a nice option for any meal of the day. You can vary the ingredients as you wish, but this provides a good base. I didn't include any cheese, but if you prefer to use some, just a tablespoon or two of grated Mexican cheese will suffice to keep the saturated fat low. Low-fat Greek yogurt is nice condiment as well and adds some additional protein to your meal.
Tex-Mex Breakfast Wrap
1 serving
(A quick satisfying wrap that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner)
Ingredients:
1 large egg plus 1 egg white
2 T. chopped cilantro
1/8 tsp chili powder, (or other Mexican seasoning like Tajin)
Dash of salt
¼ cup vegetarian refried beans, (I like Amy’s low-sodium brand)
1 large whole grain tortilla
¼ cup grape tomatoes cut in quarters,
¼ of a ripe avocado, sliced
Salsa for garnish
Directions:
1) In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, cilantro and chili powder or Tajin and dash of salt.
2) In an 8-10” non-stick skillet, cook egg mixture for about 3 minute or until almost set, stirring occasionally.
3) Place tortilla on a large plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds on high.
4) Warm refried beans in the microwave for 30 seconds.
5) On one side of the tortilla, spread warmed refried beans, top with cooked eggs, then tomatoes and avocados. Serve with salsa and optional ingredients as desired. Roll up and enjoy!
Optional condiments: grated cheese, low-fat or non-fat Greek plain yogurt
