If you've ever noticed long lines at taco trucks during your morning commute, it's because the breakfast burrito reigns supreme as a portable, satisfying start to the day. Avoid the lines and whip up yours at home where you can control the ingredients. Seasoned black beans load this one up with fiber and protein. A judicious dose of melty cheese lends more yummy goodness. Don't forget the salsa. Use whatever fat-free style you love, or douse your burrito with hot sauce like Cholula or Sneaky Pete's. And you can swap in egg substitute, if you prefer. At home, you can round out the meal with a bowl of cubed fresh melon—cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon—tossed with lime juice and chopped fresh mint.
