Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean turkey sausage I used Jennie-O
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion (50g)
- 5 large eggs
- 1.5 cup egg whites (360g) or omit and use 12 eggs total
- 1.5 tsp each: garlic powder & italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp each: salt & black pepper or to taste
- 8 flour tortillas I used mission carb balance
- 4 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
To Store: You can store these delicious burritos in the fridge or freezer! Typically I’ll keep them stored in the fridge because we go through them fast (Simon usually eats two at a time and I’ll eat one with a side). But if you don’t think you’ll get through them all in a week, go ahead and freeze some!
To store in fridge: Wrap burrito up tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a large ziplock bag or airtight container for 5-7 days.
To freeze: Do the same as above, just make sure to wrap the burritos tightly in aluminum foil and remove as much air as possible from the ziplock freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
If stored in the fridge, these burritos will stay fresh for 5-6 days.
Stored in the freezer, these burritos will last 3-4 months.
To Reheat:
- If Frozen: It is BEST to let them defrost in the fridge overnight, they will taste the most fresh this way
- If reheating from frozen: Wrap in a wet paper towel and add to a plate. Microwave for 45-60 seconds, flip, and microwave another 45-60 seconds. Then air fry at 350F for 3-5 minutes flipping halfway through.
- From Fridge: Air fry for 4-6 minutes at 375F (recommended!) or bake for 10-15 minutes at 375F.
