Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

6 large eggs

1 cup spinach, chopped

1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (red or green)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup shredded low-fat cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

1 avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salsa (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Add the diced bell peppers and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.

      Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

        In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.

          Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes, then mix everything together.

            Add the black beans and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring gently until everything is heated through, about 1-2 minutes.

              Remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture, allowing it to melt slightly.

                Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

                  To assemble the burrito, place a generous scoop of the egg and vegetable mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with avocado slices and chopped cilantro.

                    Fold in the sides and roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.

                      Optional: Serve with salsa on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
