Scrambled Burrito

Eggs are a great lean source of protein. Recent research suggests that an egg a day will NOT increase the risk of heart disease or stroke for healthy individuals. Eggs are an excellent source of high quality lean protein, containing only 75 calories, and are extremely rich in a variety of nutrients.
I love to eat my eggs (soft boiled or sunny side up) over a bowl of wheat bran or a pile or spinach. Sometime I wilt the spinach in the pan when the egg is almost done cooking. Eggs are great for breakfast, for lunch, even for dinner. Here is an extremely easy weekday recipe for a healthy scrambled egg burrito.

INGREDENTS
3 organic eggs
2 T organic milk
1-2 T olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 organic red bell pepper, chopped
1 small package (8 oz.) organic button mushrooms, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 - 1/2 pound fresh spinach
2 whole grain tortillas
Grated organic cheddar cheese (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl. Scramble in a lightly buttered pan.

In a sauté pan lightly coated with olive oil, sauté onions until tender. Add mushrooms and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender but not soft. Place spinach in sauce pan over sauté mixture. Cover and allow to steam until spinach begins to wilt.

Grate cheese inside tortilla shell. Cover with layer of scrambled eggs and sautéed vegetables. Roll. Enjoy!
