Servings: 6 burritos
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American, Tex-Mex

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or your choice
  • 1 cup cooked lean turkey sausage or chicken sausage crumbled
  • 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 small bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup baby spinach chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat a skillet with olive oil. Cook sausage until browned, then set aside.
  2. In the same pan, whisk and scramble eggs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until fluffy. Remove from heat.
  3. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier rolling.
  4. Assemble burritos: place eggs, sausage, beans, spinach, bell peppers, and cheese in the center of each tortilla.
  5. Fold sides and roll tightly into a burrito shape.
  6. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil for storage.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, skip meat and add extra beans or tofu.
  • To freeze: cool burritos completely, wrap in foil, and freeze up to 3 months.
  • To reheat: microwave refrigerated burrito 1–2 minutes or frozen burrito 3–4 minutes. For crispier tortillas, reheat in oven at 375°F (190°C).
