Ingredients

• 4 links low sodium chicken sausage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup low sodium black beans
• 1 small red bell pepper, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 whole wheat tortillas
• 1 fresh lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Cut the low sodium chicken sausage links into small pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper and onion, cooking until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the low sodium black beans, cumin, and black pepper to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes and then remove from heat.

Step 5

In a separate skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the skillet. Stir gently until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your liking.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a microwave or on a dry skillet for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the burritos by placing an equal amount of sausage, vegetable-bean mixture, scrambled eggs, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro onto each tortilla.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.

Step 9

Serve the burritos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
