Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs (400g)
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (225g)
- 1 lb lean ground turkey sausage (450g)
- 1/2 tsp salt (3g)
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper (1g)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (170g)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained (425g)
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped (60g)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (5g)
- 6 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground turkey sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until mahogany-colored (roughly 7-9 minutes).
- Stir in the garlic powder during the last minute of cooking to avoid burning, then remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
- Lower skillet heat to medium, pour in the egg mixture, and let it sit for 30 seconds until edges begin to set.
- Gently fold the eggs with a spatula until soft, velvety curds form.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and black beans during the final 60 seconds of cooking until the spinach is just wilted.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a portion of turkey sausage and egg mixture into the center.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while the filling is hot to trigger a partial melt.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up.
- Place burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet to set.
