Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 5 ounce fresh spinach
- 10 eggs (large, beaten)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 5 whole wheat tortillas
- 2 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion and minced garlic; cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 1 can cannellini beans, 1/2 cup marinara sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon dried basil. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add 5 ounces fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the 10 beaten large eggs into the skillet over the bean and spinach mixture. Scramble gently with a spatula until cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Warm 5 whole wheat tortillas according to package directions. Divide the Herbed Egg and Bean Skillet among the tortillas. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
This skillet is best enjoyed fresh. You can prepare the bean and spinach base ahead of time and add the eggs just before serving.
