  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper

Method
 

  1. Brown the turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium-high, breaking it up, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the bell pepper and onion for the last 3 minutes. Move everything to a big bowl.
  2. Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper. In the same skillet with the olive oil, scramble them over medium-LOW until just barely set — slightly wet, because they cook again at reheat time.
  3. Fold the eggs, black beans, and cheddar into the sausage mixture and let it cool 10 minutes — hot filling makes soggy burritos.
  4. Warm the tortillas so they roll without cracking. Spoon a packed 3/4 cup of filling slightly below center of each, fold in the sides, and roll tight.
  5. Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment, bag them, and freeze up to 2 months.
  6. To reheat: unwrap, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave 2.5 to 3 minutes from frozen, flipping halfway.

Notes

Undercook the eggs and cool the filling — those two steps are the difference between a good freezer burrito and a sad one. Nutrition is per burrito. Nutrition is calculated per serving from the listed ingredients and may vary with brands and substitutions.
