Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey sausage
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 large high-protein whole-wheat tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick ceramic skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground turkey sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and caramelized.
  3. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent and peppers are tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in the black beans just until heated through, then remove the entire mixture from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  5. Wipe the skillet clean and reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, blended cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until completely homogenous.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble until just set but still velvety.
  8. Divide the eggs and the sausage mixture evenly among the six tortillas, topping each with a portion of shredded cheese.
  9. Fold the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat, searing until the exterior is crisp and the seam is sealed.
