Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion

  • 1/4 cup salsa

Directions

  1. Heat a 10-in. skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Whisk eggs and water. Add half of the egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges).
