Step-by-step instructions
Ready to dive in? Let’s get cooking! Follow these easy steps:
Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the turkey sausage. Cook until it’s browned, then remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, if needed, add a bit of oil and toss in your mixed vegetables. Sauté until they are tender and fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Pour them into the skillet and scramble until they’re fully cooked.
Return the turkey sausage to the skillet and add the cheese. Mix everything together until the cheese has melted beautifully.
Take each low-carb tortilla and place a generous portion of the egg mixture in the center.
Roll up the tortillas, folding in the sides to secure the filling snugly.
For an extra touch, lightly toast the burritos in the skillet for a minute on each side until they’re golden and crispy. Serve warm!
