New concoction from this morning :)

1 cup egg whites
1/4 shredded cheese
1 cup rinsed black beans
pepper to taste

makes about three servings, I topped it with some fresh salsa and put it into a 7 inch whole wheat tortilla.
per serving about 150 calories, with the tortilla and salsa about 270. Not bad for a yummy breakfast with lots of protein.

enjoy :)

    oh i forgot to add once you scramble the eggs then throw in the beans to heat them up and then melt some cheese on top

    I've recently discovered egg whites are like a best friend now! So high in protein, so low in calories and no fat or cholesterol! Love them!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
