Ingredients
  

8 large whole eggs

1 cup egg whites (about 8 egg whites)

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 cup cooked lean turkey sausage or chicken sausage, crumbled

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 small onion, diced

1 cup spinach, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch size)

1 cup salsa (for serving)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg whites until well combined. Stir in the low-fat cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a fluffy base for your filling.

      Sauté the Vegetables and Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of cooking spray. Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened (about 5 minutes). Add the crumbled turkey or chicken sausage and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from heat.

        Combine Ingredients: In the large mixing bowl with the egg mixture, add the sautéed vegetables and sausage, along with the black beans. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

          Bake the Egg Mixture: Pour the entire egg and filling mixture into the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and a light golden brown on top.

            Prepare the Tortillas: Once the egg mixture is done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut the egg mixture into 8 equal squares.

              Assemble the Burritos: Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable. Place each square of the egg mixture onto a tortilla, fold in the sides, and roll them up tightly. Repeat for all squares.

                Serve: Serve warm with salsa on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. You can also wrap them individually in foil or parchment paper for meal prep!
