Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) lean ground turkey or chicken

8 large eggs

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1 cup spinach, chopped

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 ½ cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

8 whole grain or high-fiber tortillas (10-inch)

Salsa and avocado, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground turkey or chicken. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until fully combined and fluffy.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked meat, diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, black beans, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

          Spread on Sheet Pan: Pour the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.

            Cool and Divide: Once baked, let the egg mixture cool for about 5 minutes. Then, cut it into 8 equal squares.

              Assemble Tortillas: Lay a square of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top if desired. Roll up and tuck in the sides to form a burrito.

                Optional Heating: If you prefer crispy burritos, you can place them seam-side down back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tortillas are slightly crispy.

                  Serve: Enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be reheated in the microwave or oven. Serve with salsa and avocado on the side for extra flavor!
