Turkey Sausage Breakfast Burritos
- 1 pound breakfast turkey sausage (sold in a roll)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 diced green pepper
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup colby jack cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 6 Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas
- salsa to taste
Dice onion and green pepper.
Grate the cheese.
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the turkey sausage. Cook until done.
Heat another skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining oil. Add the onions and peppers. Cook until onions are soft and translucent.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the water. Whisk until beaten well.
Slowly pour the eggs into the pan with the onions and pepper.
Let set for about 30 seconds.
Add the salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the cheese on top.
Gently stir, using the spatula to shift the cooked eggs on the bottom to the top. Wait a few seconds and repeat with the same motions until the eggs are cooked through.
Immediately remove from heat. If you leave eggs in the pan, they will continue to cook and will get dry and ick.
On a flour tortilla, place a spoon full of the sausage.
Add a spoon full of the eggs.
Add salsa (if desired).
Roll up.
Enjoy.

Yield: 6 8-inch burritos.
I froze four of them by wrapping them in aluminum foil and placing the wrapped burritos in a freezer bag. I did not put salsa in the ones I froze.
They reheated easily in the microwave (after removing the foil) for 2 minutes each.
Low in sugar; high in selenium.
