Sweet Potato, Black Bean & Egg White Breakfast Burrito - 3 SYNS

So I've decided after a low loss of 0.5 last night (had a lot of naughtiness like Costa coffee's) decided I'm going to either cut carbs altogether or only have a few early morning to have the day to burn them!

 

INGREDIENTS
•1 BFREE Wrap (HEB)
•1 medium sweet potatoes
•Handful of black beans, rinsed and drained
•1/4 teaspoon cumin
•1/4 teaspoon chili powder
•few dashes of red pepper flakes, if desired
•2 large egg whites
•25g avocado, diced (2.5 syns)
•40g reduced fat shredded cheese (HEA)
•Enchilada sauce*

INSTRUCTIONS
1.Cook sweet potato: Pierce sweet potato with fork a few times. Place in microwave and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until cooked. This may take up to 10 minutes depending on how thick your sweet potato is. Once sweet potato is cooked, remove the skin and place potato in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork; set aside.

2.In a separate large bowl, add black beans, cumin, chili powder and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir to combine then set aside.

3.In a separate medium bowl, beat egg whites together. Spray a pan with frylight cooking spray and place over medium-low heat. Add in egg whites and cook. Fold every few minutes to get fluffy eggs. Once cooked, remove from heat.

4.To assemble burritos, I warm my wrap for 30-50 secs in the microwave; it makes them easier to roll. Lay out warm wrap and evenly distribute and spread mashed sweet potato on each. Evenly distribute egg whites, diced avocado, black beans, and shredded cheese on each tortilla. Next drizzle about tablespoon of enchilada sauce in each. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Tuck ends in, then roll up wraps. To warm up: Place on baking sheet in oven at 300 degrees for 5-10 minutes or simply microwave them for a minute or two. You can serve with sour cream, greek yogurt, salsa, or hot sauce (count the syns). 
Makes 1 wra.

3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 Tbsp finely grated onion

3/4 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions
Heat a pan, I used spray oil. Add in garlic and onion and saute for 2 minutes.Stir in remaining ingredients and bring mixture just to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
