  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 breakfast burritos

Ingredients

Protein and Eggs

  • 4 links turkey or beef sausage, casing removed
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Vegetables and Seasoning

  • 1 cup shredded mixed cheddar cheese
  • 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sumac
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Other

  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 4 8-inch flour tortillas
  • Chopped fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 4 links of turkey or beef sausage, breaking them apart with a spatula to crumble. Cook until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked sausage aside.
  2. Prepare Scrambled Eggs: In the same pan, scramble the 4 large lightly beaten eggs combined with 1/4 cup cottage cheese. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook until the eggs are fluffy and fully set.
  3. Mix Seasoned Onions: In a small bowl, combine the sliced small red onion, 2 teaspoons sumac, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and salt to taste. Toss to coat and let the flavors meld.
  4. Assemble Burritos: Lay out each of the 4 eight-inch flour tortillas. Spread about 1/2 cup hummus evenly over the surface of each tortilla. Layer on the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese (divide evenly), diced Roma tomato (divide evenly), and the prepared sumac-seasoned onions.
  5. Roll and Store: Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito shape. Wrap each burrito in parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to eat.
  6. Reheat and Garnish: Reheat the burritos as needed, using a microwave or skillet until warm. Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your flavorful breakfast burrito!

Notes

  • You may substitute lean ground beef or ground turkey for the sausage links; season the ground meat with your favorite spices along with salt and pepper.
  • Cooking the eggs with cottage cheese is optional, but it adds extra protein and a creamy flavor to the scramble.
  • If sumac is unavailable, simply season the sliced onions with a pinch of salt to approximate the tangy flavor.
