# Instructions:
01 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground turkey, breaking it apart. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. This is the hearty core of your High-Protein Breakfast Burritos Recipe.
02 -
To the same skillet, add 1/2 medium yellow onion and 1 medium bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp ground cumin.
03 -
Add 2 cups fresh spinach, packed, to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in 1 (15-oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk 8 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat until scrambled and just set, about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overcooking for the best High-Protein Breakfast Burritos Recipe texture.
05 -
Gently fold the scrambled eggs into the turkey and vegetable mixture in the large skillet. Stir in 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese until just melted and combined. Remove from heat.
06 -
Warm 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch) according to package directions. Divide the High-Protein Breakfast Burritos Recipe filling evenly among the warmed tortillas. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom.
07 -
Serve your High-Protein Breakfast Burritos Recipe immediately with 1/2 cup salsa on the side. For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce. Enjoy this satisfying and nutritious breakfast!
# Notes:
01 -
Leftover burritos can be wrapped individually in foil and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in a microwave or oven.
02 -
Feel free to substitute ground chicken or lean beef for the turkey. For extra veggies, add diced zucchini or mushrooms to the sauté.
03 -
Top with avocado, sour cream, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor and texture.
04 -
To make these ahead, prepare the filling and store it in an airtight container. Assemble the burritos fresh when ready to eat for the best texture.
