Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or plain Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
- 1/2 lb lean ground turkey or chicken sausage
- 1/2 cup finely diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1/4 cup finely diced onion
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 large (10-12 inch) flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Pinch of chili powder (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: hot sauce, salsa, avocado for serving
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Dice bell pepper and onion. Grate cheese.
- Cook Protein: In a large skillet, brown ground turkey or sausage over medium-high heat. Drain fat and set aside.
- Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add a little oil and sauté diced bell pepper and onion until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: Whisk eggs with milk/yogurt, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Pour into the skillet over medium heat. Gently scramble until just set and fluffy, but still slightly moist.
- Combine Fillings: Gently fold the cooked protein, sautéed veggies, and half of the shredded cheese into the scrambled eggs.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas individually in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven until pliable.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon a generous amount of filling into the center. Top with remaining cheese. Fold in the sides, then fold up the bottom edge and roll tightly.
- Optional Pan-Fry: For a crispy exterior, pan-fry burritos seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa or avocado.
