Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and heat it until shimmering. Stir in the chopped scallions, green pepper, tomato, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg whites until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, stirring gently to scramble the eggs. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.
4
Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
5
Lay a whole wheat tortilla on a plate and spoon one-quarter of the egg and vegetable mixture onto the tortilla. Roll it up tightly, tucking in the ends as you go, and place seam-side down in a baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam cooking spray.
6
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Once all burritos are assembled and in the baking dish, place it in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the tortillas are slightly crispy.
