  • Yield: 6 servings
  • Diet: Protein-rich

Description

Fast, filling breakfast burritos packed with protein from sausage, eggs, and cheese, ideal for meal prep and busy mornings.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb Breakfast sausage, ground
  • 1 15 oz can Black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Poblano pepper, diced
  • 12 large Eggs
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 6 large Tortillas (burrito-size)
  • 6 oz Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 oz Cream cheese, softened


Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium. Crumble in the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned.
  2. Add the diced poblano pepper to the pan and sauté until it softens, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the black pepper and kosher salt. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble gently until just set.
  4. Stir in the drained black beans, shredded cheddar, and cream cheese. Cook, stirring, until the cheeses melt and the mixture is cohesive.
  5. Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave so they’re pliable.
  6. Spoon an equal amount of the filling onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly, folding the ends in.
  7. Serve right away, or wrap each burrito in foil and freeze for later use.

Notes

If desired, boost protein further by adding cottage cheese to the egg mixture. They are great for busy mornings or after early exercise.
