Ingredients

• 4 links turkey sausage
• 4 large eggs
• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 4 large whole wheat tortillas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 large avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Begin by removing the turkey sausage links from their casings, if necessary. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the sausage using a spatula as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the baby spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the spinach and set it aside with the sausage.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites with salt and pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until just set but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the cooked sausage, wilted spinach, and black beans to the scrambled eggs, stirring to combine gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked to your liking.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas by placing them one at a time in a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.

Step 7

Lay each warm tortilla flat and sprinkle an even portion of shredded cheddar cheese down the center.

Step 8

Spoon the egg and sausage mixture over the cheese, dividing it evenly among the four tortillas.

Step 9

Top with a few slices of avocado and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 10

Fold over the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from bottom to top into a burrito shape.

Step 11

Serve immediately, or if you're making these ahead of time, wrap them in aluminum foil and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
