Description

A hearty, protein-packed breakfast burrito recipe featuring scrambled eggs blended with cottage cheese, sausage, bell peppers, black beans, and cheddar cheese wrapped in flour tortillas.


Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese
  • 0.5 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 15 oz canned black beans, rinsed
  • 12 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 large flour tortillas


Instructions

  1. Combine the eggs and cottage cheese in a blender and pulse until the mixture is completely smooth.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the breakfast sausage and bell peppers over medium heat until the sausage is cooked through.
  3. Lower the heat and pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the skillet, scrambling gently until just set.
  4. Lay out the tortillas and fill each with the egg scramble, black beans, and a generous amount of shredded cheese.
  5. Roll the burritos tightly and sear them on a hot pan if desired, or wrap them in foil for later use.
