Breakfast Burrito
Sharing some nutrition info in this post today! Knowing I had a busy schedule, I made sure to plan ahead and whip up a filling breakfast burrito to fuel my morning. Packed with protein and also rich in fiber and essential vitamins from fresh veggies. Sautéing with broth instead of oil keeps it light while still flavorful, and the nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, savory touch with a boost of B vitamins. It's a satisfying, balanced meal that gives you the energy you need to take on a full day!

1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup broccoli florets, chopped small
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 egg (or more if you prefer)
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth (for sautéing)
1 whole wheat or spinach tortilla
1-2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Salt and pepper to taste
