Low-Sodium Cottage Cheese Breakfast Burrito

A high-protein breakfast burrito with cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, and lean sausage, seasoned to perfection while keeping sodium levels low.

Ingredients

• 10 Eggs
• 500 g Sausages
• 1 cup Low-Sodium Salsa
• 5 Low-Sodium Tortillas
• 2.5 cups Cottage Cheese
• 1 cup Diced Bell Peppers (optional)
• 1 tsp Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp Cumin

Instructions

1. Whisk eggs with chili powder and cumin for added flavor. Add a splash of water or milk for fluffier eggs. Scramble eggs in a non-stick pan until just set but still slightly moist.
2. Cook sausages until browned and cooked through, ensuring an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
3. If using, sauté diced bell peppers until tender-crisp. This adds texture and sweetness to the burritos.
4. Warm tortillas slightly on a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and prevent tearing.
5. Fill each tortilla with scrambled eggs, sausage, cottage cheese, and salsa, and sautéed bell peppers (if using).
6. Fold into burritos, tucking in the sides, and serve immediately.
