Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Turkey sausage
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 Egg whites
- 2 cups Spinach, fresh
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 4 Whole-grain tortillas
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Low-fat cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the turkey sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, crumbling it with a spatula until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the egg whites and season with salt and black pepper. Cook while stirring gently to scramble the eggs for 3-4 minutes or until they are set.
Add the spinach, diced tomatoes, and red onion to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix everything well.
Warm the whole-grain tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a dry skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Lay each tortilla flat and place an equal portion of the sausage, egg, and vegetable mixture in the center.
Top each portion with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of shredded low-fat cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold in the sides of the tortillas and then roll up the burrito tightly from the bottom.
Serve warm, and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast burrito!
