Equipment
1 Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil, divided
- 1 lbs ground turkey I prefer 85-90% lean
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sweet potato diced into small cubes
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 white onion diced
- 6 eggs whisked
- 6 10 inch tortillas I like super soft corn tortillas
- ¼ cup chipotle mayo I like the Primal Kitchen brand
Instructions
- Cook the turkey. In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil and the ground turkey. Sprinkle the spices (paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper) over the turkey and begin breaking it up into small pieces until it’s browned all the way through. Once the turkey is cooked, transfer it to a separate bowl and set aside.3 tablespoon avocado oil, 1 lbs ground turkey, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Cook the veggies. To the same large skillet, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil and the sweet potato cubes. Cook the sweet potatoes until they are slightly firm, 5 - 6 minutes then add the diced bell pepper and onions. Continue cooking until soft. Transfer the veggies to a separate bowl.1 sweet potato, 1 bell pepper, 1 white onion
- Scramble the eggs. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil and the whisked eggs. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through. Set the skillet aside.6 eggs
- Assemble. Lay out a single tortilla on a flat surface and spread 1 tablespoon chipotle mayo in the center. Then add a serving of ground turkey, veggies, and scrambled eggs down the center of the tortilla. Fold the ends of the tortilla over the filling then roll it into a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.6 10 inch tortillas, ¼ cup chipotle mayo
- Sear the burritos. Heat a skiller over medium heat and place 1 or 2 burritos inside with the seam side down and allow it to cook for 1 - 2 minutes. This will seal the burrito shut.
- Freeze. Wrap each burrito in parchment paper or foil and place in a freezer-friendly bag or container. They will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Serve. When ready to enjoy, thaw the burrito in the fridge the night before (Alternatively, you can wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel and thaw it in the microwave for 45 seconds on one side and then flip it over and thaw it again for another 45 seconds). Once thawed, cook the burrito in the oven at 400 F for 20 - 30 minutes until warm and enjoy!
