INSTRUCTIONS

Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook turkey sausage until browned and crumbled, about 8-10 minutes. Season with cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Transfer to a large bowl.

Sauté Vegetables

In the same skillet, add peppers and onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add to the bowl with sausage.

Scramble Egg Whites

Wipe skillet clean, spray with cooking spray. Add egg whites and scramble over medium heat until just set. Season with salt and pepper. Add to bowl.

Combine Filling

Add shredded cheese to the bowl. Toss everything together until well combined. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Assemble Burritos

Place about 3/4 cup filling in center of each tortilla. Fold in sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top. Place seam-side down.

Wrap and Store

Let cool completely. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil. For freezing, place wrapped burritos in freezer bags and label with date.
