Combine
Ingredients:

DIRECTIONS:

Scramble eggs, beans, salsa and cheese and

fill tortilla with the egg mixture.

How easy is that! Try it!

Better yet, why not set up a burrito station for the Super Bowl ? Mix a large

batch of the egg mixture in advance, cover and let them fill their own. It’s

always nice to have at least one healthy option so might as well make it fun.
