Here's a recipe for **High-Protein Loaded Breakfast Burritos** that's nutritious, filling, and easy to customize:

### Ingredients:
- **4 large eggs** (or egg whites for a lower fat option)
- **1/2 cup cooked chicken breast** (shredded or diced) or turkey bacon, or lean ground turkey
- **1/4 cup black beans** (rinsed and drained)
- **1/4 cup shredded cheese** (cheddar, mozzarella, or a high-protein cheese option)
- **1/4 avocado**, sliced
- **1/2 cup spinach or kale**, sautéed or fresh
- **1/4 cup salsa** (optional)
- **Whole wheat or high-protein tortilla** (such as Mission Protein tortillas or similar)
- **Olive oil** or cooking spray (for sautéing)
- **Salt and pepper**, to taste
- **Optional toppings**: Greek yogurt (as a sour cream substitute), hot sauce, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or onions.

### Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Ingredients:**
- If using chicken, turkey, or any protein, cook it first. You can sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Sauté the spinach or kale in a pan until wilted or cook it fresh.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

2. **Cook the Eggs:**
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a bit of olive oil.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat.

3. **Warm the Tortilla:**
- In a separate pan, warm your tortilla for 30-60 seconds on each side to make it soft and pliable.

4. **Assemble the Burrito:**
- Lay the warm tortilla on a flat surface.
- Layer the eggs, cooked chicken (or protein), beans, sautéed spinach, avocado slices, and cheese in the center of the tortilla.
- Add a spoonful of salsa and optional toppings like Greek yogurt or hot sauce for extra flavor.

5. **Wrap the Burrito:**
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other, ensuring everything is securely wrapped inside.

6. **Optional: Toast the Burrito:**
- If you want a crispy finish, place the wrapped burrito back into the skillet for a minute or two on each side until golden brown.

### Tips:
- **Customize the Protein**: Use a variety of proteins like lean beef, tofu, or even cottage cheese for different textures and flavors.
- **Extra Veggies**: You can add peppers, onions, tomatoes, or mushrooms for extra nutrients and flavor.
- **Freezing Option**: These burritos are great for meal prep. Just wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to eat, microwave or toast them for a quick meal.

### Nutritional Benefits:
- **High Protein**: Eggs, chicken, and beans provide a significant protein boost to keep you feeling full.
- **Fiber**: Beans, spinach, and the tortilla offer fiber, supporting digestion.
- **Healthy Fats**: Avocado adds heart-healthy fats.

Enjoy these protein-packed breakfast burritos for a satisfying and energizing start to your day!
