These were good. I am glad to have found a healthy alternative to the McD's burritos that I love so much! I left out the veggies, so I only used the egg whites, pepper, and cottage cheese. I also halved it since I am the only one who will eat them (1 cup egg whites & 1/4 cup cottage cheese). They filled 3 tortillas. I only had one and I was stuffed! As for the torillas, I just microwaved them for 30 seconds to warm them up. I admit I cheated a bit and added a tiny bit of cheese when I heated the torillas :) I will be using this next time I get a craving for McD's. Good taste, quick to prepare, and few dishes = great recipe!

Liked it! I loved using cottage cheese with eggs and will do that again! I'm not sure about the black beans for breakfast - the flavor is very good but for me more of a brunch,lunch or dinner flavor. I left the tortillas in the toaster oven at 250 degrees as suggested, which seemed like a great idea but the first batch burned. When I put more in they still were hard and it was hard to get the burritos to roll up right - also they were hard to roll because there was more filling than tortilla when using the exact amounts. Although I just bought these tortillas I'm wondering if they weren't fresh enough and this might not be a problem for other people. When I cooked the eggs in Step#3, there was so much filling for the amount of eggs that it started to burn on the bottom before the eggs were done so I needed to scramble it instead of just cooking until the mixture set. I made this for the Healthy Choices ABC Game; to play, go to Community, then Games.
