Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. -
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula to scramble. Cook until the eggs are almost set. Add the beans, stirring until combined and heated through. -
Microwave the tortillas on 100% power (high) for 45 seconds. (This makes them pliable and easier to roll.) Transfer to a work surface. -
Spread the egg mixture in the center of each tortilla. -
Top with the avocado and hot sauce. -
For each burrito, fold two sides of the tortilla toward the center. Starting from the unfolded side closest to you, roll the burrito toward the remaining unfolded side to enclose the filling. Transfer with the seam side down to plates.
Cooking Tip: For a quick grab-and-go breakfast, make the burritos the night before and wrap them in parchment paper or wax paper. When you’re ready to eat the burritos, microwave them on 100% power (high) for 2 to 3 minutes.
