Instructions
Preparation Steps
Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add turkey sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour into the skillet with the veggies and scramble gently until just set, 3 to 4 minutes.
Return cooked sausage to the skillet, add black beans, and fold in Greek yogurt and 0.25 cup salsa. Stir to combine and heat through, then remove from heat.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Divide the egg mixture evenly among tortillas and top each with shredded cheese.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos. Place seam side down. For a toasty finish, sear each burrito seam side down in a hot dry skillet for 30 to 60 seconds per side.
Serve with remaining salsa and cilantro. For meal prep, let burritos cool, wrap individually in foil or freezer-safe wrap, and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
Notes
To reheat from frozen: unwrap, microwave on high 2 to 3 minutes, flipping halfway, or bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes wrapped in foil. Swap turkey sausage for chicken sausage or extra black beans for a vegetarian option.
