Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links turkey sausage
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 large avocado, sliced
Instructions
Begin by removing the turkey sausage links from their casings, if necessary. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the sausage using a spatula as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the baby spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the spinach and set it aside with the sausage.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites with salt and pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until just set but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked sausage, wilted spinach, and black beans to the scrambled eggs, stirring to combine gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked to your liking.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas by placing them one at a time in a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Lay each warm tortilla flat and sprinkle an even portion of shredded cheddar cheese down the center.
Spoon the egg and sausage mixture over the cheese, dividing it evenly among the four tortillas.
Top with a few slices of avocado and a spoonful of salsa.
Fold over the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from bottom to top into a burrito shape.
Serve immediately, or if you're making these ahead of time, wrap them in aluminum foil and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
