Equipment

- 1 Baking sheet For assembling burritos
- 1 Aluminum foil For wrapping burritos
- 1 Freezer bags For storage
- 1 sharp knife To chop veggies
Ingredients
- 10 Large tortillas Large tortillas Whole grain or flour
- 8 Eggs Whisked
- 1 cups Turkey sausage Cooked and crumbled
- 1 cups Black beans Drained and rinsed
- 1 cups Shredded cheese Cheddar or Monterey Jack
- 1 cups Bell peppers Diced
- ½ cups Onions Diced
- 1 cups Spinach Chopped
- 1 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing veggies
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
Instructions
Cook the Fillings:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the bell peppers, onions, and spinach until tender. Remove from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, scramble the whisked eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare Protein:
- Cook and crumble the turkey sausage (or warm black beans for a vegetarian option).
Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay each tortilla flat and place a layer of eggs, sausage/beans, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese in the center (about ¾ cup of filling per tortilla).
Wrap the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
Wrap for Freezing:
- Wrap each burrito in aluminum foil and place in a freezer bag. Label with the date.
Freeze:
- Place the burritos in the freezer. They can be stored for up to 3 months.
- Reheating Instructions:
- Microwave: Remove foil, wrap in a damp paper towel, and heat on high for 2-3 minutes.
- Oven: Reheat in foil at 350°F for 20 minutes.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add hot sauce or salsa to the filling before wrapping.
- Customize with your favorite ingredients, like roasted sweet potatoes or avocado slices (added after reheating).
- Avoid high-moisture fillings (e.g., fresh tomatoes) as they can make the burritos soggy after freezing.
- Make vegetarian versions by replacing sausage with black beans or tofu crumbles.
