Notes

  • Swap turkey sausage for chorizo for a spicier kick.
  • Use egg whites to cut fat—12 whites equal 6 whole eggs.
  • Add avocado for a creamy twist. I tried this once, and it was a game-changer.
  • Don’t overfill—tortillas tear easily. Stick to ¼ cup filling.
  • Want variety? Check out my banana muffins for a sweet side.
