12(about 365g)turkey breakfast sausages

⅛teaspoonground cumin

¼teaspoonchili powder

salt and black pepperto taste

1.5cupsred bell pepperdiced (about 1.5 medium bell peppers)

1cupwhite oniondiced (about 1 medium onion)

5eggswhisked

2cupsspinachloosely chopped

¼cupchunky mild salsa

1cupcheddar cheeseshredde, divided

510 inchwhole wheat flour tortillas

Instructions

Start by removing the sausage meat from the casing. Slice each sausage lengthwise and add the meat to a medium sized bowl.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat add half of the olive oil (½ tbsp). Once hot, add your sausage meat and cook for about 7 minutes (stirring frequently). Once your meat is fully cooked, pour it onto a plate and set aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil (½ tbsp) along with the peppers, onions and spices. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the peppers begin to soften and the onions begin to turn translucent. Once cooked, use a spatula to push the vegetables to the outer edges of the skillet (leaving an open circle in the middle of the skillet).

Add your whisked eggs into the center of the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, using a spatula to gently stir periodically until the eggs become light and fluffy and all liquid is gone. Try to avoid mixing the vegetables in with the eggs, however if a few stray veggies mix in it’s ok!

Once the eggs are cooked, add in your cooked sausage, ½ of the cheese, salsa and spinach and mix everything together. Place a lid on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or until the spinach wilts!

Add about a heaping ½ cup of filling onto the center of each of the five tortillas, sprinkle with about 1-2 tablespoon of additional cheese. Roll your burritos by first folding the tortilla up from the bottom, then fold in the sides, and then finish rolling the burrito up until it has closed. Wrap your burritos in parchment paper or tinfoil to keep them fresh!

Notes

To freeze: Layer your burritos in a large tupperware container or casserole dish and immediately place in the freezer to flash freeze them (not this is not how they will be stored long term so don’t worry if they aren’t air tight or if there is no lid). Once your burritos are frozen completely, transfer them to an airtight container, a sealed freezer bag or individually wrap them in tinfoil and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To reheat, use one of these options:

Microwave- Use the microwave’s defrost setting for about 5 minutes, then microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
Oven- Bake at 425° for 35-40 minutes.
Air fryer- Air fry at 375° F for about 12-16 minutes.
