Number of Servings: 10

Ingredients

    1 cup finely chopped green pepper
    1 cup finely chopped sweet onion
    1 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
    2 cups coarsely chopped fresh mushrooms
    1 Tbs unstalted butter
    1/2 cup thawed spinach (all water squeeze out)
    1 2.25 oz can Lindsay sliced olives, drained and dried.
    1 tsp Original Spike seasoning (or favorite dried herbs)
    12 fresh egg whites (or prepackaged equivalent*)
    3.5 oz reduced fat Athenos Feta cheese, crumbled
    10 Sol De Oro tortillas, warmed

Tips

This makes 10 burritos, or 5 servings (2 burritos each) for under 250 calories.

Yes, REAL butter for flavor. You can omit this and use nonstick cooking spray and save 20 calories per serving, but if you're on a diet, TASTE is everything!


Directions

Saute first 4 ingredients in the butter over medium high heat until fragrant and all the water has evaporated (about 8 min). add the seasoning, spinach, feta cheese and olives, and mix well. Add egg whites 1 at a time, folding each one in gently. Finish cooking until the eggs are done, letting them brown a bit if you like.

*If using prepackaged egg whites, you may have to let a lot of water cook out at this point. It's ok, this will still taste great.

Wrap 1/2 cup of eggs into each tortilla and wrap burrito fashion. Tuck two at a time into sandwich sized baggies and refrigerate immediately.
