Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 large whole wheat tortillas
- 8 large eggs
- 4 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cooked turkey sausage or crumbled tofu
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers along with the red onion, sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Cook the spinach and protein: Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Stir in the cooked turkey sausage or crumbled tofu, heating through to combine flavors.
- Scramble the eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, and black pepper. Push the vegetable and protein mixture to one side of the skillet, pour the eggs into the other side, and gently scramble until just set. Then mix everything evenly together.
- Warm the tortillas: Slightly warm the whole wheat tortillas to make them pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
- Assemble the burritos: Evenly divide the egg and veggie mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheese, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into burritos.
- Serve or store: Serve the burritos immediately or wrap each individually in foil or parchment paper for freezing to enjoy later.
Notes
- To reheat frozen burritos, microwave for 1–2 minutes or bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes.
- Swap turkey sausage or tofu with black beans, mushrooms, or leftover roasted vegetables for variety.
- Perfect for busy mornings or convenient on-the-go meals.
