This recipe is OK for those on the LMD (Low Microbial Diet), as long as all vegetables are well cooked, and salsa in the jar is used. Lactaid milk or soy milk can be substituted along with lactose free cheese or soy cheese for those on a No Dairy restriction.

Ingredients:

6 egg whites 4 cups fresh spinach, rinsed, chopped and drained
5 Tbsps skim milk    2 10-12 inch, whole grain tortillas
salt & pepper to taste    2/3 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tsp olive oil     3 oz (about 4 slices) pepper jack cheese (or soy cheese)
1 small red onion, diced  salsa for garnish 1 small green pepper, diced (use ½ of pepper if it is very large)
1 small red pepper, diced (use ½ of pepper if it is very large)

Cooking Instructions:

1. Rinse black beans well & drain thoroughly. (Rinsing away the liquid around canned beans will reduce the amount of gas you may experience from eating beans.)
2. For easiest preparation, chop and dice all vegetables prior to beginning to cook.
3. Whip together egg whites, skim milk and salt & pepper and set this aside.
4. Heat olive oil in non-stick skillet and sauté onions over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes.
5. Add peppers and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
6. In a separate, small non-stick pan, sauté spinach in a dash of olive oil until leaves just wilt.  Spinach should remain bright green.  Carefully drain liquid from spinach and set spinach aside.
7.  Heat tortillas in microwave for 5-10 seconds, until warm.
8. Add egg/milk mixture to onions and peppers.  Cook until eggs are at desired firmness.
9. Split egg mixture in half and place half on each tortilla shell.  Add spinach, black beans, and cheese (or soy cheese) to each shell.  Roll and fold both ends.  Garnish each burrito with salsa.
