Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the egg whites
Warm a lightly oiled 10-inch skillet. Pour half of the egg whites in the pan, swirling the pan around so the whites spread thinly and evenly. After about 30 seconds, put a lid on the pan and cook 1 minute more. Use a rubber spatula to loosen and slide the egg white “tortilla” onto a plate. Repeat once more with the remaining egg whites.
In the same pan, sauté onions with oil for one minute then add tomato, green chiles, red pepper, cilantro, and meat.
Whisk egg yolks and pour into the pan, mixing into a scramble with the other ingredients.
Add avocado at the very end, then spoon half of filling onto each egg white. Roll the egg whites up into burritos and serve with hot sauce or salsa.
You could speed things up by chopping the veggies up and separate your eggs the night before.
