Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces red potatoes, cubed
- 4 sugarhouse maple breakfast chicken sausages or applegate sausage links
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 8 egg whites or 1 cup of liquid egg whites from a carton
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt + pepper to taste
- 4 large tortillas
- shredded cheese
- salsa and/or hot sauce
- fresh cilantro
- guacamole or avocado slices
Instructions
- In a large skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, sauté the red potatoes for 3-5 minutes until softening.
- Chop the chicken sausages and add them along with diced yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes before adding spinach.
- When the veggies are tender and the sausage is browned, add the eggs, egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Scramble until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
- Distribute the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, adding any preferred toppings. Fold and roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the edges.
- Spray a clean skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium. Add burritos seam side down and cook covered until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden, a few more minutes.
- Optionally, you can assemble the burritos a few hours ahead, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes.
Notes
For best flavor, use high-quality chicken sausage.
Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences.
Leftover burritos can be reheated but may not be as crisp as fresh.
