Cooking Method

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Top each with shredded cheese and a spoonful of salsa.

4. 

   Roll and Secure:

   • Roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to form burritos. Use toothpicks to secure if necessary.

5. Air Fry the Burritos:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place burritos in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
   • Air fry for 5-7 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.

Nutritious Value

These breakfast burritos are a powerhouse of nutrients. Whole wheat tortillas provide fiber, which aids in digestion and helps keep you full longer. The combination of eggs, spinach, and black beans offers a good dose of protein and iron, essential for maintaining energy levels and muscle health. Bell peppers add a burst of vitamin C, enhancing your immune system, while cheese delivers calcium, supporting bone health.

Best Side Dishes and Drinks

To complement the burritos, consider pairing them with a light and refreshing side salad. A simple cucumber and tomato salad with a splash of lime dressing can enhance the overall meal without overpowering the burritos. For drinks, freshly squeezed orange juice or a vibrant green smoothie aligns well with the healthy theme, providing essential vitamins and a refreshing taste to kickstart your day.

Enjoy this delightful and nutritious breakfast that's easy to prepare and sure to keep you energized through your morning!
