High Protein Breakfast Burritos
Since making these a few months back, these have become a staple for my morning! It’s so good and I look forward to it every morning! They are so easy to make and is packed with protein! One burrito has about 35 grams of protein- depending on the tortilla you use! Having a high protein breakfast is key for energy throughout the day and optimal hormone balance.
Course Breakfast, recipe
Cuisine American
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 poblano pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 package turkey sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- taco seasoning
- red pepper flakes
- chorizo seasoning I season the turkey sausage with this, but it is optional
- cheese
- tortillas
- Yellow Bird Jalapeño hot sauce
Cook the sausage until no longer pink.
In a separate pan, sauté the onions and peppers until soft, add generous amount of taco seasoning.
Whisk eggs, egg whites and cottage cheese, add to peppers. After eggs are cooked add sausage to egg mixture.
Put cheese in tortilla and add egg mixture atop. We toast ours on a skillet, or toss it in the air fryer to get a little crispy- totally optional though!
Makes about 8 burritos. I roll them all up and store in the fridge for a week in a container. To reheat: my favorite way is 350 in the air fryer for 15 minutes. If I have less time I will just do the microwave wrapped up in a damp paper towel. You can also make this mixture into tacos, or as a scramble with some toast or fruit on the side! Possibilities are endless!
