Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole grain tortillas
- 8 ounces lean turkey sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup salsa, optional
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add diced red bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the turkey sausage to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula until fully cooked.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl with salt and black pepper, then pour into the skillet with the sausage and bell pepper. Stir frequently until eggs are softly scrambled and fully cooked.
Stir in the black beans and spinach leaves until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them more pliable.
Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese, and add salsa if desired.
Roll up each tortilla, folding the sides in to seal the filling, creating a burrito shape.
Serve immediately or wrap each burrito individually in foil to enjoy on the go.
