Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Filling

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or cooking spray.
Add ground turkey or chicken, season with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté bell peppers and tomatoes for about 2 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs

In a small bowl, whisk egg whites (or whole eggs) until fluffy.
Pour eggs into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked.

Step 3: Assemble the Burrito

Lay the tortilla flat and spread Greek yogurt down the center.
Layer on black beans, cooked turkey, scrambled eggs, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese.
Add salsa and any optional toppings like avocado or cilantro.

Step 4: Wrap & Toast

Fold in the sides and roll the burrito tightly.
Place the burrito back in the skillet, seam-side down, and toast for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Slice in half and serve warm with extra salsa or Greek yogurt for dipping!

Notes

Use a Large Tortilla – Makes rolling easier and prevents spillage.
Toast for Extra Crunch – A quick pan-sear enhances the texture.
Add Healthy Fats – Avocado or cottage cheese makes it even more satisfying.
