Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 pound lean ground turkey or chicken sausage
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado slices, Greek yogurt, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Stir in ground turkey or chicken sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Add black beans to the skillet and stir to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites, then pour them into the skillet.
  6. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set but still soft.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture.
  8. Warm the tortillas, then spoon the filling evenly into each one.
  9. Roll the tortillas tightly into burritos and serve with optional toppings like salsa or avocado.

Notes

  • Cool the filling slightly before wrapping to prevent soggy tortillas.
  • Wrap burritos individually in foil for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
  • Customize with your favorite veggies or swap meat for plant-based protein.
  • To freeze, wrap in foil and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
