Healthy Breakfast Burritos (Easy Meal Prep)
Description
The breakfast burritos combine ground turkey sausage cooked with diced onions, then mixed with scrambled eggs seasoned with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. The eggs are cooked gently to a soft scramble for a tender texture. Flour tortillas are warmed before spreading with creamy cheese, then filled with the egg and sausage mixture. Folding or rolling the tortillas completes the burritos for serving or storage.
The recipe offers a hearty balance of protein and savory spices, with mild garlic and herb notes and the richness from cream cheese or shredded cheese. The turkey sausage provides a lean meat base, while the eggs contribute softness and moisture.
These burritos are suitable for making ahead and storing in the refrigerator or freezer. Proper wrapping and storage allow for freshness up to a week refrigerated or several months frozen. Reheating instructions include microwaving with a damp paper towel and finishing in an air fryer for an improved texture. This makes them practical for quick breakfasts or on-the-go meals.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. turkey breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup onion finely diced, 50g
- 5 egg large
- 1.5 cup egg or omit and use 12 eggs total, white
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder each
- 1.5 tsp Italian seasoning each
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste, each
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or to taste, each
- 8 flour tortillas I used mission carb balance
- 4 cream cheese Laughing Cow light cheese wedges or shredded cheese, about 3 Tbsp per burrito
Instructions
- Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and set to medium heat. When warm, add the turkey sausage. Cook, breaking into crumbles with a wooden spoon as you go, until mostly browned.
- Then add the chopped onions and cook for 2 minutes or until onions are tender and all meat is browned. Drain any excess liquid at this point before adding eggs to prevent soggy burritos! Briefly set pan aside and away from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites and all the seasonings. Set the pan back on medium heat and add the egg mixture. Keep stirring until eggs are scrambled then remove from heat. Let eggs cool down some before adding to tortillas.
- Place the tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. Then lay out all the tortillas on your counter.
- Spread half of each laughing cow cheese wedge in the middle of the tortillas in a 2-inch line (or add the shredded cheese) leaving 1-inch on each end. Scoop the scrambled egg mixture on top (about 118g each) and then fold up like a burrito.
- Wrap the burrito up tightly in foil and place in a large ziplock bag. Store in the fridge or freezer (see notes)
Notes
- Store wrapped burritos in the refrigerator for 5-7 days or tightly wrapped in foil and frozen up to 3-4 months.
- To reheat frozen burritos, thaw overnight in the fridge, then microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel and finish in an air fryer for a crispier texture.
- For refrigerated burritos, reheat directly in an air fryer at 375°F for 4-6 minutes or bake for 10-15 minutes for best results.
