How to Make Light Breakfast Burrito

  1. Lightly coat a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Cook 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference) in the skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until softened.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs (or 1/4 cup egg substitute), 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions and peppers. Scramble for 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through but still slightly moist.
  5. Warm a large (10-inch) flour tortilla for 30 seconds in a microwave or dry skillet until pliable.
  6. Place the egg and vegetable mixture along one-third of the tortilla, about 2 inches from the bottom edge.
  7. Fold up the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling.
  8. Fold in the sides, then tightly roll the burrito from the bottom up.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
