Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 eggs
- 1 lb spicy sausage
- 2 russet potatoes
- 6 burrito tortillas (low carb)
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low fat, small curd)
- 1 cup white cheddar (shredded)
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 1 avocado
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Dice 2 russet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Toss cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Spread potato cubes across a sheet pan. Roast at 400°F for exactly 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Crumble 1 pound spicy sausage and cook until completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 7-9 minutes.
- Crack 8 eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk together with 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika until smooth and well combined.
- Pour egg mixture into a preheated skillet. Scramble gently, folding eggs every 30 seconds until they reach soft, fluffy consistency, about 3-4 minutes.
- Warm 6 low-carb burrito tortillas for 15 seconds in microwave to make them pliable.
- Layer each tortilla with roasted potatoes, browned sausage, scrambled eggs, 2 tablespoons pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and 2-3 tablespoons shredded white cheddar.
- Roll tortillas into tight burritos, tucking sides to prevent filling from falling out.
- Return burritos to sheet pan, seam-side down. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes until cheese melts and edges turn golden brown.
Notes
- Swap out potatoes for sweet potatoes or cauliflower to create a lower-carb version that still provides great texture and flavor.
- Cottage cheese adds unexpected creaminess to scrambled eggs and boosts protein content without making the eggs heavy.
- Prepare ingredients ahead of time and store separately in containers to make morning assembly quick and stress-free.
- For vegetarian options, replace sausage with black beans or plant-based crumbles to maintain protein and keep the burrito satisfying.
