Spinach and Pork Sausage Burrito

Ingredients

Sausage:

  • 454 g (1 lb) minced pork
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp oil

Filling:

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 medium green pepper, diced
  • 1 medium red pepper, diced
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 140 g (5 oz) spinach
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup (120g) shredded cheese

Tortilla:

  • 17 × 9-inch flour tortillas (homemade recommended)
  • Sauce of your choice for serving

Directions

Sausage:

  1. Make pork sausage: mix minced pork with brown sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano until well combined. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the sausage mixture, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Filling:

  1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan. Sauté diced onion, green pepper, and red pepper until softened. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Whisk eggs with 2 tbsp milk, season with salt and pepper, then pour into the pan with the vegetables and scramble gently over medium-low heat until just set.

Tortilla:

  1. Warm tortillas and assemble burritos: lay a tortilla flat, add a layer of scrambled egg and vegetable mixture, a scoop of pork sausage crumbles, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Serve immediately with your sauce of choice, or wrap in foil for meal prep.
