Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs (or 1 cup egg whites)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (or mashed avocado for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup cooked lean ground turkey, chicken, or sausage
  • 1/2 cup black beans or refried beans
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 4 whole wheat or low-carb tortillas
  • optional hot sauce or salsa for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Add cooked lean protein (ground turkey, chicken, or sausage) to the skillet. Stir in garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until fully heated through.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and cottage cheese until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the eggs are fluffy and fully set.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or on a skillet for a few seconds per side to make them pliable.
  • Layer beans, egg mixture, shredded cheese, and cooked protein in the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with hot sauce or salsa if desired.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
  • Serve immediately or wrap in foil for meal prep. For a crispy finish, toast the wrapped burritos on a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.

Notes

For meal prep, store wrapped burritos in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or skillet.
