This high protein breakfast burrito is a filling, flavor-packed morning meal featuring eggs, lean turkey, black beans, and sharp cheese. Perfect for meal prep or quick weekday breakfasts.
4 large whole eggs (or 8 egg whites for lower fat)
1 cup cooked shredded chicken or 8 oz lean turkey sausage, chopped
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar or pepper jack
4 large whole-wheat tortillas (10-inch) or high-protein tortillas
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or avocado for healthy fats)
1/2 cup pico de gallo or chopped tomatoes and cilantro
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1. Dice the onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. Rinse and dry black beans.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet, add turkey or chicken with cumin and paprika, and cook until browned.
3. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until softened. Stir in beans and mix well. Remove from heat.
4. Whisk eggs with salt and scramble over low heat until just set and slightly moist.
5. Warm tortillas, then layer eggs, meat-bean mix, cheese, yogurt, and pico de gallo. Fold and roll tightly.
6. Optional: Grill wrapped burrito in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side to crisp.
For a vegetarian version, use tempeh or extra beans instead of meat.
Make it dairy-free by using plant-based cheese and yogurt.
To avoid sogginess, dry vegetables well and warm tortillas before assembling.
Batch prep the filling to save time during the week.
