Description

A hearty, protein-packed breakfast burrito filled with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, black beans, cheese, and fresh veggies wrapped in a warm tortilla. Perfect for a satisfying morning meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the filling:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 2 turkey sausage patties, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • For serving:
  • 2 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado slices, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  2. 2. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. 3. Add crumbled turkey sausage and black beans; cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs over the fillings. Continue cooking until eggs are set but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. 5. Add chopped spinach and cheddar cheese; stir until spinach wilts and cheese melts, about 1 minute.
  6. 6. Remove from heat. Divide the egg mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Fold in sides and roll up tightly.
  7. 7. Serve immediately with desired toppings.

Notes

For a lower-carb option, use large lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. You can also substitute chicken sausage or tofu scramble for the turkey sausage.
