Ingredients
Salsa
- 1 cup diced seeded plum tomatoes (3-4 tomatoes)
 - 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
 - 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
 - 1½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
 - ½-1 teaspoon minced chipotle chile in adobo sauce
 - ⅛ teaspoon salt
 
Burritos
- 4 8-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas
 - 4 large eggs
 - ⅛ teaspoon salt
 - Freshly ground pepper to taste
 - 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
 - 1 4-ounce can chopped green chiles
 - ½ cup grated Cheddar or pepper Jack cheese
 - ¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
 
Directions
- To prepare salsa: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; stir to blend. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
 - To prepare burritos: Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil and heat in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
 - Meanwhile, blend eggs, ⅛ teaspoon salt and pepper in a medium bowl with a fork until well combined. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add green chiles and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the eggs and cook, stirring slowly with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula, until soft, fluffy curds form, 1½ to 2½ minutes.
 - To serve, divide eggs evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons cheese and roll up. Serve with sour cream and the salsa.
