Description

Build your perfect High-Protein Breakfast Burrito with customizable ingredients designed to fuel your day. Packed with protein from eggs, tofu, and low-fat dairy, this satisfying wrap is ideal for fitness lovers and busy mornings alike.


Ingredients

Scale

2 large egg whites

1 whole egg

1/4 cup firm tofu, crumbled

1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup diced bell peppers

2 tbsp Greek yogurt (for topping)

1 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)

1 high-protein whole wheat tortilla


Instructions

  • In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, scramble egg whites and the whole egg until fully cooked. Set aside.

  • In the same pan, lightly sauté the tofu and bell peppers for 2–3 minutes.

  • Warm the tortilla and layer it with scrambled eggs, tofu, black beans, cheese, and bell peppers.

  • Roll into a burrito and toast in the skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.

  • Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of green onions, if desired.

Notes

Swap tofu for tempeh or cooked lean ground turkey for even more protein.

For a vegan option, omit eggs and cheese and increase the tofu or add a plant-based alternative.

Store leftover filling in the fridge for up to 3 days.
