Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 8 ounces Turkey sausage
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add turkey sausage to the skillet, breaking it into bite-sized pieces, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the sausage and sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and garlic powder, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Assemble the burritos by placing a quarter of the sausage and vegetable mixture into the center of each tortilla.
Top each with a slice of avocado and a tablespoon of shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up the bottom and continue rolling to form a burrito.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy sausage burrito.
