Ingredients
2 whole eggs

1 cup black beans
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 high-protein tortillas
Instructions
1. Brown the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through, then set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until soft and slightly caramelized. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites with salt and pepper. Pour into a skillet and scramble gently until set.
4. Lay out your tortillas and layer each with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, sautéed vegetables, black beans, and a sprinkle of cheese.

6. Serve immediately or wrap for storage. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze for future meals.
Notes
Store wrapped burritos in foil for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
