Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 (7-inch) whole wheat tortillas

Instructions
- Lightly beat the eggs and egg whites in a medium bowl.

Notes
Smart Shopping Tips
- When shopping for eggs, open the carton to be sure none are cracked.
- Buy eggs that are graded “Large,” since they are the standard size in recipes.
- Don’t worry about the color of the eggs. There is no nutritional difference between white and brown eggs.
- Make sure to store eggs in the coldest part of the refrigerator, since the temperature of an egg is critical.
- To add smoky or savory flavor, add turkey bacon or turkey sausage.
- Mushrooms, cilantro, green onion, avocado and bell peppers are all great options to add into the burrito.
- Serve low-fat sour cream on the side or non-fat Greek yogurt.
