Description
These High Protein Breakfast Burritos are packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, lean sausage, black beans, sweet corn, and melty cheese, all wrapped in a soft toasted tortilla. Perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or post-workout meal, they’re freezer-friendly and bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
6 large eggs
8 ounces lean breakfast sausage or turkey sausage
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup salsa or diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
6 large flour tortillas
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- 1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling it until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, scramble the eggs until fluffy and just set.
- Remove from heat. Warm the black beans and corn in a saucepan or microwave, then drain excess liquid.
- Lay out tortillas and fill each with eggs, sausage, beans, corn, cheese, salsa, and cilantro.
- Sprinkle with spices.
- Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and toast seam-side down in a dry skillet until golden and crispy.
- Serve warm or wrap individually and freeze for later.
Notes
Drain beans and corn thoroughly to prevent soggy tortillas.
Toasting the burritos adds a crisp finish and seals the wrap.
For extra protein, add sautéed peppers or spinach.
