Ingredients
Scale
- 6 low carb or low calorie tortillas or wraps
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 avocado (diced, sliced or mashed)
- 1/3 cup of your favorite salsa
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cups AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites
Instructions
- Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork several times. Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until cooked through, which may take up to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Alternatively, roast in the oven at 400°F for 45 minutes. Once cooked, peel and mash sweet potatoes with a fork in a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine rinsed black beans with cumin and chili powder. Stir well to mix the spices throughout, then set aside.
- Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-low. Pour in egg whites and cook, folding gently every few minutes to create fluffy eggs. Once cooked through, remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to make them more pliable for rolling.
- Lay out warm tortillas and evenly spread mashed sweet potato on each. Distribute cooked egg whites, diced avocado, spiced black beans, and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of salsa on each. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in ends and roll up burritos tightly.
- To warm assembled burritos, place them on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 300°F for 5-10 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes. Serve with sour cream, Greek yogurt, extra salsa, or hot sauce as desired.
Notes
- For added protein, consider adding shredded chicken or tofu.
- Customize with your favorite vegetables.
- Store any leftover burritos in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
