Scrambled Egg Whites, Sauteed Mushrooms and Spinach, Low-Carb Whole Wheat Tortilla, and Veggie Sausage Links

I LOVE breakfast burritos. I HATE how guilty I feel about eating the tortillas though (they are deceivingly high in calories and carbs) So, naturally, when I stumbled upon a fabulous whole wheat tortilla that is low carb friendly, high fiber AND only 80 calories per tortilla (compared to a typical flour tortilla having ~210 calories) I jumped at the opportunity to treat myself to a breakfast burrito! 

A little trick for the fluffiest creamiest scrambled eggs (my alternative to my mother's indulgent version): a splash of almond or soy milk, a dollop of light cream cheese or (my preference) 1/2 laughing cow whipped swiss cheese wedge (only 35 calories per full wedge)

The great thing about a breakfast burrito, is you can fill it with just about anything. Today I used sauteed mushrooms and spinach for a simple veggie-filled morning. Some other great combos you can try: Avocado, Sauteed Onions and Bell Peppers, Jalepeno, and Salsa. Or, Smoked Salmon, Light Cream Cheese, Capers, Red Onion, and drizzled with a little "Healthy Hollandaise" (see Cod and Steamed Artichoke post for recipe)

 Thanks to my wonderful roommate's panini press, this burrito got a lovely touch of toasty-ness on the outside. Plus, it holds all the flavorful goodness together on the inside!
