Ingredients

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup hummus

  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sumac
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Cook the 4 links turkey or beef sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.

  • Assemble burritos: Spread 1/2 cup hummus (equal amounts 1/4) on each of the 4 8-inch flour tortillas, layer scrambled eggs, sausage, 1 cup shredded mixed cheddar cheese (divided), 1 Roma tomato (diced and divided), and onions. Roll tightly.

Notes

  • You may use lean ground beef or ground turkey instead of sausage links. I recommend you season the ground beef with any seasonings of your choice, with salt and pepper.
  • You do not have to cook the eggs with cottage cheese. It does add an amazing flavor plus it adds more protein to the burritos.
  • If you do not have summac, you can skip it and just season the sliced onions with a bit of salt.
