Yield: Serves 1
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 strip nitrate-free turkey bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 Tbsp. seeded, chopped fresh tomato
- 1 whole-wheat flour, 96% fat-free tortilla (8" diameter)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 ounce) finely shredded Cabot 75% Light Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tsp. red taco sauce
Instructions
Mist a small microwaveable bowl with olive oil spray. Add the egg whites. Set aside.
Set a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot enough for a spritz of water to sizzle on it. With an oven mitt, briefly remove the pan from the heat to mist with cooking spray. Set over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes. Add the onion. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp. Add the tomato. Cook for about 1 minute, or until just heated. Transfer the bacon mixture to a bowl. Cover to keep warm. Place the tortilla in the pan and return to medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 seconds per side, or until just warm.
Meanwhile, microwave the egg whites on low power for 30 seconds. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until they are just a bit runny on top. Stir them with a fork, breaking into large pieces. If they are still undercooked, cook them in 10-second intervals until just done. Stir in the reserved bacon mixture.
Place the tortilla on a serving plate. Sprinkle on the cheese leaving about 2" bare on one end, in an even strip (about 3" wide) running down the center. Top with the reserved egg white mixture and drizzle on the taco sauce. Fold the bare end of the tortilla up over the filling, and then fold the sides of the tortilla over the middle. Serve your breakfast burrito immediately.

Hi Annie-
Thanks for the note. We're sorry you have concerns with the recipe. We hope you might follow it as a guideline for ingredients and feel free to prepare it any way you think might make it easier or tastier. This recipe was borrowed directly from the Biggest Loser Cookbook, so we can't say exactly why the chefs behind that book chose the ingredients and instructions that they did.

I'm a bit confused by this recipe. First, why spray a nonstick skillet with anything? It's nonstick and all of those items will not stick to it. In fact, by adding the onion and tomato, they will give off juices! I know the calories in a spray a negligible, but still. Secondly, why would you cook the eggs in a microwave? I personally don't like them that way, they're too rubbery. Other than that, why not use the nonstick skillet you were just using? And you wouldn't have to take any of the ingredients out if you crumble the bacon once its cooked or cut it before putting it into the pan. I make this a few times a week and I just pour in the egg whites once everything in the pan is cooked and mix it all together.
