Ingredients
- 6 large eggs (or mix of whole eggs and egg whites)
- 1/2 lb lean breakfast sausage (turkey, chicken, or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
- 4 whole wheat tortillas (large, 8–10 inches)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: Paprika, Cumin, Chili Powder for extra spice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add chopped bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove sausage and veggies from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour whisked eggs into the same skillet. Let sit for 30 seconds, then gently push cooked edges towards the center, allowing raw egg to flow underneath. Continue until eggs are mostly set but still moist.
- Stir in fresh spinach until wilted. Immediately remove from heat and stir in the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture.
- Warm tortillas individually in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15-20 seconds per side, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 15-20 seconds, until pliable.
- To assemble, lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 of the filling mixture down the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold the bottom edge up tightly over the filling. Roll the burrito away from you, tucking in the filling to create a snug wrap.
- (Optional) For a golden exterior, place assembled burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and lightly crispy.
- Serve immediately or wrap individually for meal prep.
