Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked turkey sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by measuring them out and having them ready on your workspace. Ensure the turkey sausage is pre-cooked and crumbled.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk them thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and gently scramble, using a spatula to create soft, fluffy curds.
- When eggs are almost fully cooked but still slightly moist, add the pre-cooked crumbled turkey sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Place a warm tortilla on a clean work surface. Sprinkle shredded cheese in the center of the tortilla.
- Spoon the egg and sausage mixture onto the cheese, leaving room at the edges for folding.
- Top the mixture with a tablespoon of salsa for added flavor and moisture.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Optional: If desired, place the rolled burrito seam-side down in a skillet to lightly toast and seal the edges.
- Serve immediately while warm, with additional salsa on the side if preferred.
Tips
- Egg Perfection: For the fluffiest scrambled eggs, whisk thoroughly and remove from heat when they're still slightly moist to prevent overcooking.
- Tortilla Technique: Warming tortillas makes them more pliable and prevents cracking when rolling. Use a microwave or quick skillet warm-up.
- Meal Prep Hack: These burritos can be prepared in advance and individually wrapped in foil, making them perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add extra vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for more nutrition and flavor variety.
- Sealing the Deal: When rolling your burrito, fold the bottom up first, then tuck in the sides to prevent filling from falling out.
