Ingredients
  

8 large eggs

1/2 cup egg whites

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or a mix)

1/2 cup diced onion

1 cup cooked lean turkey sausage, crumbled (or substitute with tofu for a vegetarian option)

1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat tortillas (10-inch size)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1 avocado, sliced (for serving)

Salsa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg whites until well combined. Season with garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

        Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the egg mixture, add the cooled sautéed vegetables, black beans, and crumbled turkey sausage. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.

          Bake the Egg Mixture: Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.

            Add Cheese: Once the egg mixture is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

              Assemble the Burritos: Allow the egg mixture to cool slightly. Cut it into 4 equal squares (approximately the size of your tortillas). Place a square onto each whole wheat tortilla. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired, and roll up tightly like a burrito.

                Wrap & Store (optional): If meal prepping, wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper and store in the freezer or refrigerator. They can be reheated in the microwave or oven.

                  Serve: Serve your delicious breakfast burritos with sliced avocado and salsa on the side for a tasty breakfast any day!
