Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
In a large skillet, sauté the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Transfer the sausage to a plate.
-
Heat the oil in the same skillet. Add in the bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
-
Add in the potatoes and cook for a couple minutes until heated through. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Then, stir in the black beans.
-
Pour the eggs into the skillet with all the veggies and scramble.
-
To assemble the burritos, spread the tortillas out on the counter. Add equal amounts of the eggs and sausage to the middle of each tortilla. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top.
-
Fold up the bottom half of the tortilla over the fillings. Fold in the sides toward the middle, and tightly roll up into a burrito.
-
If desired, heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place 1-2 burritos at a time in the skillet, seam side down, cooking for a couple minutes on each side until golden brown.
-
Serve with chopped cilantro, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
