Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 6 low carb or low calorie tortillas or wraps
Filling
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 cups AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites
- 1 avocado (diced, sliced, or mashed)
- 1/3 cup of your favorite salsa
Instructions
- Cook Sweet Potatoes: Pierce sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, then microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until tender, which can take up to 10 minutes depending on size. Alternatively, roast in a 400°F oven for 45 minutes. Once cooked, peel and mash the sweet potatoes in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Prepare Black Bean Mixture: In a large bowl, combine rinsed and drained black beans with cumin and chili powder. Stir well and set aside to infuse flavors.
- Cook Egg Whites: Lightly spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-low. Pour in egg whites and cook, folding every few minutes to create fluffy scrambled eggs. Once fully cooked, remove from heat.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas for 10-20 seconds in the microwave to make them more pliable for rolling.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay out warm tortillas, then spread an even layer of mashed sweet potato on each. Distribute cooked egg whites, black bean mixture, diced avocado, and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of salsa over the fillings. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Fold in the ends and roll up tightly.
- Heat Burritos: To warm through, place burritos on a baking sheet and heat at 300°F for 5-10 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy with optional sides like sour cream, Greek yogurt, extra salsa, or hot sauce for added flavor.
