Ingredients

  • 4 large whole wheat flour tortillas
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey sausage
  • 8 large egg whites
  • 4 large whole eggs
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup low -fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 medium avocado , sliced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and brown the turkey sausage until cooked through, approximately 7-8 minutes. Remove meat from pan and drain excess fat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, salt, and pepper until homogenous.
  • Using the same skillet, add olive oil and baby spinach, sautéing for 1 minute until wilted.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until eggs are soft-scrambled.
  • Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave for 15 seconds to increase pliability.
  • Assemble by spreading 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt in the center of each tortilla.
  • Divide the cooked turkey sausage, scrambled eggs, black beans, and shredded cheese equally among the four tortillas.
  • Top with avocado slices and salsa.
  • Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom up to seal.
  • Optional: Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1 minute to sear and seal.
