Easy & Healthy Breakfast Burrito
INGREDIENTS
🔹2 teaspoons canola oil
🔹1/2 small red onion, diced (1 cup)
🔹1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
🔹1 cup drained, rinsed canned black beans, preferably low-sodium
🔹1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
🔹Salt and freshly ground black pepper
🔹4 eggs and 4 egg whites
🔹1/3 cup (about 1 1/2 ounce) shredded pepper Jack cheese
🔹Nonstick cooking spray
🔹4 (10 inch) whole wheat tortillas (burrito size)
🔹1/4 cup reduced fat-free sour cream or 2 percent plain Greek yogurt
🔹1/4 cup salsa
🔹1 large tomato, (4 ounces) seeded and diced
🔹1 small avocado (4 ounces), cubed
🔹Hot sauce
DIRECTIONS
🔹Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat. 🔹Cook the onions and peppers until onions are softened and peppers are slightly charred, about 8 minutes. Add black beans and red pepper flakes and cook until warmed through, another 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a dish.
🔹Whisk together the eggs and egg whites then stir in the cheese. Spray the skillet with cooking spray, and reheat the skillet over a medium heat. Reduce heat to low and add eggs, scrambling until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon each sour cream (or yogurt) and salsa, then layer with 1/4 of the black bean mixture, 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, some diced tomato and 1/4 of the avocado. Season, to taste, with hot sauce. Roll up burrito-style and serve.

At only 5 ingredients...this Grilled Salmon with Sweet Peppers dinner is going to be an EASY way to please everyone in the family! Try it TONIGHT!
INGREDIENTS
1 ¼ pounds skin-on salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 pound sweet mini bell peppers
2 medium red onions, quartered
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Preheat a gas grill to high, build a fire in a charcoal grill or build a campfire and let it burn down to high heat (about 500 degrees F).
Step 2
Brush or drizzle salmon with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle peppers and onions with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
Oil the grill rack. Place the salmon, skin-side up, on the grill, along with the peppers and onions. Grill the salmon until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a metal spatula, gently nudge one of the pieces: it should release from the grill without much force, but if it feels stuck, continue cooking for another minute. When the salmon releases easily, flip and continue cooking until browned and the flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes more. Cook the peppers and onions, turning frequently, until tender and well browned, 8 to 10 minutes total.
Step 4
Serve the salmon with the vegetables.

Throw away any of those old oatmeal packets and buy a large container of rolled oats instead — this will ensure that you can build your oats from the ground up using only the best ingredients for your body. Once you’ve got your basics, you’ll want to take a look at these seven ways that you can sneak protein into your oatmeal to ensure that your breakfast has as much muscle-building power as possible.
1. Skip the water — cook your oatmeal with milk
Though you may have traditionally made your oatmeal with water, try using skim or whole milk for an added protein boost.
2. Stir in nut and seed butters
One of the easiest and tastiest ways to improve the protein content of your oatmeal is to add in peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter to any of your traditional recipes.
3. Fold in Greek yogurt
Greek yogurt can add a tangy flavor and luxurious, silky texture to your oatmeal. While regular yogurt can also add a creamy texture and a bit of protein into the mix, Greek yogurt is far superior in the protein department.
4. Top it off with almonds, walnuts, or pistachios
Much like nut butters, adding in nuts to your oatmeal not only will give you that extra protein you’re looking for, but it also add texture and flavor, making your meal feel more satisfying and complete.
5. Add flaxseeds or chia seeds
They may not look like much in the bag, but seeds such as chia and flax can add a powerful health boost to your oatmeal while also bringing a nutty flavor and crunchy texture to your dish.
6. Stir in protein powder after cooking
If you thought that protein powder was reserved for smoothies and shakes, think again — you can make your oatmeal using plain rolled oats and milk, and then once the cooking process has finished, stir in a protein powder of your choice for added health benefits and flavoring.
7. Go savory
Not all oatmeal has to be sweet — though the packets of apple cinnamon oatmeal may still reside in your mind, you can make a delicious and protein-packed meal using savory ingredients with your oatmeal instead. A simple and savory protein-filled oatmeal recipe example can use black forest ham, Gruyere cheese, and an egg on top.
