Time to make 20 minutes Burritos olive oil spray

2 lowfat pork sausages

1 red onion, diced

4 eggs, lightly beaten

400g can Mexican chilli beans 2 small tomatoes, diced

1 cup chopped baby spinach

1⁄4 cup chopped coriander leaves, plus extra to serve

4 large wholegrain wraps

Guacamole

1 avocado, peeled

1 small tomato, diced

red onion

2 Tbsp chopped coriander leaves

Method

Heat a large pan over high heat, spray with oil and squeeze small nuggets of pork mince out of the sausage skins and into the pan. Discard the skins. Cook the pork for 2 minutes, then add the red onion and continue to cook for 34 minutes. Add the eggs, beans, tomato, spinach, coriander and Cheddar. Cook, stirring occasional­ly, for another 34 minutes.

Season the mixture and divide among the wraps, placing it in the centre. Fold each wrap to enclose the mix. Wipe out the pan, then return the wraps to the pan and cook for 23 minutes on each side until golden brown.

For the guacamole, mash the avocado in a bowl, then stir through the tomato, red onion and coriander and season.

Serve the burritos topped with guacamole, sour cream, chipotle or tabasco sauce, spring onion and extra coriander.
