Description
This High-Protein Breakfast Burrito is a hearty, customizable morning meal packed with eggs, lean meat, beans, cheese, and veggies. It’s perfect for meal prep and keeps you full and energized all morning.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 egg whites (optional)
- 1/2 lb lean ground turkey or chicken sausage
- 1/2 cup black beans or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup spinach or kale, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce (optional)
- 4 whole wheat or high-protein tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook ground turkey or sausage until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until softened. Add spinach or kale and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Whisk eggs (and egg whites if using) with salt and pepper. Scramble in a non-stick pan over medium heat until just set.
- Lay out tortillas. Layer each with scrambled eggs, meat, sautéed veggies, beans, and cheese. Add salsa or hot sauce if desired.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Sear seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side, or wrap in foil for meal prep.
Notes
- Let fillings cool slightly before wrapping to avoid soggy burritos.
- Use tofu or tempeh to make it vegetarian.
- Add avocado or Greek yogurt for creaminess.
- Freeze individually for easy grab-and-go meals.
