CHEF JEFF — ONE BYTE AT A TIME: Healthy Breakfast Burrito

This grab-and-go, teen-pleasing dish is sure to tempt your rushed students before they head off to school.

Healthy Breakfast Burrito

1 whole-grain tortilla

1 egg, scrambled

½ cup fresh spinach

¼ cup cooked brown rice

½ cup black or pinto beans

1 ounce shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Heat tortilla over an open flame or in the microwave so it is easy to fold. Roll up the egg, spinach, rice, beans and cheese in the tortilla. (Leftover cooked meats and vegetables can also be added, if you wish.) Wrap in wax paper, then heat in microwave before leaving the house.

Yield: Serves 1.
