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!

Ingredients:

• 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

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Filling:
   In a large pan over medium heat, add the vegetable or chicken broth. Add chickpeas, black beans, broccoli, and tomatoes. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the beans are heated through.

2. Add the Egg:
   Crack an egg over the beans and veggies. Scramble gently, mixing until the egg is fully cooked and evenly distributed throughout the filling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Burrito:
   Spoon the filling onto the tortilla, then sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top for a cheesy flavor boost.

4. Wrap and Serve:
   Fold the sides of the tortilla, roll it up, and enjoy!
