Protein-Packed Breakfast Burritos are hearty, energizing wraps filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, black beans, and melted cheese. Perfect for meal prep or busy mornings, these customizable burritos are satisfying, freezer-friendly, and full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage or diced turkey sausage
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, hot sauce, Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add olive oil if needed and sauté diced bell peppers and onion until softened.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until softly scrambled.
  5. Stir cooked sausage and black beans into the eggs and cook for another minute until heated through.
  6. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  7. Divide egg mixture evenly among tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each.
  8. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos.
  9. Serve immediately with desired toppings or wrap individually for storage.

Notes

  • Let filling cool slightly before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas.
  • Swap sausage for grilled chicken, tofu, or extra beans for variation.
  • Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for more vegetables.
  • Use whole wheat or high-protein tortillas for extra nutrition.
  • Refrigerate wrapped burritos for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in microwave or warm in a skillet for a crisp exterior.
