Ingredients
  

8 large eggs

1 cup egg whites

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 cup turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 small onion, diced

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 whole wheat tortillas

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Avocado, sliced (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese until well combined. Season with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

      Prepare the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Add the cooked turkey sausage to the skillet and mix well.

        Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the egg mixture, add the sautéed vegetables, black beans, cherry tomatoes, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and firm to the touch.

            Cool and Prepare Tortillas: Once baked, cool the egg mixture for a few minutes. Then, cut it into evenly-sized squares that can be wrapped in tortillas.

              Assemble Burritos: Lay a square of the egg mixture on a whole wheat tortilla. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese and top with fresh cilantro. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.

                Wrap and Store: Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper. You can eat immediately or store them in the refrigerator for meal prep.

                  Reheat and Serve: To eat, simply microwave the burrito for about 1-2 minutes until heated through. Serve with sliced avocado on the side.
