Delicious high protein breakfast burritos recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Large Eggs: 6
  • Cooked Breakfast Sausage: 1 cup, crumbled
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup
  • Black Beans: 1/2 cup, rinsed and drained
  • Salsa: 1/4 cup
  • Whole Wheat Tortillas: 4 large
  • Avocado: 1/2, diced
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk eggs in a bowl and pour into the skillet. Scramble the eggs until cooked through but still slightly moist.
  2. Step 2: Add the crumbled breakfast sausage, black beans, and salsa to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine and heat through.
  3. Step 3: Warm the tortillas in a microwave or dry skillet until pliable.
  4. Step 4: Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas.
  5. Step 5: Top each burrito with shredded cheddar cheese and diced avocado.
  6. Step 6: Fold in the sides of the tortillas, then roll up tightly to form burritos. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.

Notes

  • For longer storage, tightly wrap individual burritos in plastic wrap before freezing in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
  • Reheat frozen burritos in the microwave on 50% power to prevent the tortilla from becoming tough.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and a protein boost.
  • Don't overcook the eggs; slightly moist eggs will prevent a dry burrito after reheating.
