200 Calorie Breakfast Burritos

Ingredients

• 8 slices Center Cut Bacon (Arrange in a single layer on a sheet pan; choose center cut for fewer calories and more protein)
• 1 large Whole Egg (Provides richness and extra protein)
• 170 g Egg Whites (Boxed egg whites; can be separated from yolks if preferred)
• 1 pinch Salt (Season to taste)
• 1 pinch Black Pepper (Freshly ground preferred)
• 1 pinch Garlic Powder (Optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 spray Cooking Spray (or bacon fat) (Use a light coating; reserve bacon fat from cooking for later use)
• 2 pieces Low‑Calorie Tortilla (La Banderita 60‑calorie flour tortillas; any low‑calorie tortilla works)
• 2 slices Velvita Cheese Slice (Each slice 35 calories; melts nicely)
• 4 sheets Paper Towels (For draining bacon and patting dry)
• 4 sheets Parchment Paper (Lining for tortillas and wrapping burritos)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the bacon.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 425°F

2. Bake Bacon

   Lay the 8 slices of center‑cut bacon on a sheet pan in a single layer, making sure the slices do not overlap. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10‑12 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispness.

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: 425°F

3. Prepare Egg Mixture

   While the bacon cooks, crack 1 whole egg into a large mixing bowl, add 170 g of boxed egg whites, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder. Blend with an immersion blender (or whisk) until fully combined.

   Time: PT3M

4. Cook Scrambled Eggs

   Spray the large skillet with a light coating of cooking spray (or use a teaspoon of saved bacon fat) and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, continuously scrape and fold the eggs across the surface. Cook for about 3 minutes, stopping when the eggs are still slightly glossy; they will finish cooking from residual heat.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: Medium heat

5. Drain Bacon

   Transfer the baked bacon onto a plate lined with paper towels. Pat the top with another paper towel to absorb excess fat. Reserve the rendered bacon fat for future cooking.

   Time: PT2M

6. Assemble Burritos

   Lay two sheets of parchment paper on a clean surface. Place one tortilla on each sheet. Tear each Velvita cheese slice in half and lay the halves lengthwise in the center of each tortilla. Chop the cooked bacon into bite‑size pieces (≈23 g total) and sprinkle evenly over the cheese. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the two tortillas, spreading them over the bacon and cheese.

   Time: PT4M

7. Roll and Microwave

   Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Wrap each burrito in its parchment paper. Place both wrapped burritos on a microwave‑safe plate and microwave for 20‑30 seconds. Let rest for 1‑2 minutes before unwrapping.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: High (microwave)

8. Serve

   Unwrap, slice in half if desired, and enjoy immediately. Optional: drizzle with homemade chipotle aioli for extra heat.

   Time: PT2M
