  • Yield: 6 burritos

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. 1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling it until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs until fluffy and just set.
  3. Remove from heat. Warm the black beans and corn in a saucepan or microwave, then drain excess liquid.
  4. Lay out tortillas and fill each with eggs, sausage, beans, corn, cheese, salsa, and cilantro.
  5. Sprinkle with spices.
  6. Fold in the sides, roll tightly, and toast seam-side down in a dry skillet until golden and crispy.
  7. 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.
