Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 56 g lean turkey sausage crumbled
  • 80 g drained black beans
  • 28 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 10-inch whole wheat tortilla
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1 tsp pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble the turkey sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium-low. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk. Pour into skillet and gently scramble until just set but still moist. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine scrambled eggs, cooked turkey sausage, drained black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the filling mixture onto the center. Fold in sides and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  6. Let burritos cool completely on a wire rack to prevent sogginess. Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap for freezing.
  7. Store wrapped burritos in freezer bags. When ready to eat, microwave for 2-3 minutes from frozen or bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until heated through.

Notes

These burritos can be made ahead of time and frozen for a quick breakfast option. Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite vegetables or other proteins.
