Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 lb turkey breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 6 whole wheat tortillas large
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Hot sauce optional

Method
 

  1. In skillet, brown sausage with onions and peppers. Drain excess grease.
  2. Scramble eggs with cumin until just set (they'll finish cooking later).
  3. Warm tortillas for 10 seconds to make pliable.
  4. Layer each tortilla: cheese, sausage mixture, eggs, more cheese.
  5. Fold sides in, then roll tightly away from you.
  6. Wrap each in parchment paper, then foil for freezing.
  7. To reheat: Microwave in parchment 90 seconds, then crisp in dry skillet 1 minute.

Notes

For vegetarian version: substitute 1 can black beans and 1/2 block crumbled tofu for sausage. Add smoked paprika for depth.
