Description

Start your day right with these High Protein Breakfast Burritos. Packed with eggs, lean sausage, beans, and cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla, this high-protein breakfast is perfect for meal prep, freezer-friendly, and full of bold flavors to fuel your morning.


Ingredients

6 large eggs

1/2 pound lean breakfast sausage

1 cup cooked black beans

1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

6 large flour tortillas


Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, lower heat and scramble the beaten eggs until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.

3. Warm the tortillas to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and sprinkle with cheese, then top with eggs, sausage, and beans.

4. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito. Place seam-side down.

5. Toast each burrito in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber.

Make a double batch and freeze for up to 2 months.

Swap in turkey sausage for a lighter option.
