Method
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell pepper and onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add shredded chicken breast to the skillet and stir to combine with vegetables. Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder over the mixture, cooking for 2-3 minutes until spices are fragrant.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together whole eggs and egg whites until well combined. Push the chicken and vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet.
- Pour egg mixture into the empty side of the skillet and let cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until edges begin to set. Gently scramble eggs until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes total.
- Stir the scrambled eggs into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add black beans and stir to incorporate, cooking for another minute to warm through.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and stir until melted. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Warm tortilla in microwave for 10 seconds to make it flexible and prevent tearing. Spoon the egg and chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla, leaving borders for folding.
- Drizzle salsa over the filling and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a secure burrito. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.
Notes
For meal prep: Let filling cool completely before wrapping to prevent condensation. Store wrapped burritos in refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Can substitute turkey or plant-based protein for chicken. Add extra vegetables for more fiber and nutrients. If tortilla tears during assembly, overlap pieces and continue - it will still hold together once wrapped.
