 2 clove garlicminced
 ¼ cup onion
 1 tbsp oil

 ¼ cup skim milk
 ¼ tsp salt

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add milk. Whisk until well blended.

2

Add the eggs to the saucepan. Cook on medium heat until eggs are firm, stirring frequently.

3

Add spinach and cheese. Cover the saucepan and turn off the heat. Keep covered until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted; 3-5 minutes.

4

Add the chiles and beans to the eggs and stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.

5

Consider warming the tortillas in a frying pan, over an open flame, or in the microwave.

6

Spoon equal amounts of the egg and bean mixture into each tortilla, leaving yourself enough room to fold the burrito neatly. If you choose to add avocado, you may need to use more tortillas.

7

Serve warm with hot sauce or salsa. The remaining burritos can be wrapped in parchment paper and stored in the refrigerator or placed in the freezer. The parchment makes it easy to label/date and warm up in microwave. You can grab a rectangular or square size container (do not need a lid) to place burritos in for easy storage.
