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 :)

    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!
