sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork may be more affordable in some regions

1

Add 200 grams of fatty sausage to a pan without oil, as the fat will grease the pan.

2

Sauté the sausage for about 1 minute.

3

Add diced chicken to the pan and cook until just done, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Season the meat with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and a pinch of salt; stir to combine.

5

Add 3 tablespoons of red pepper, 3 tablespoons of chopped jalapeno, and 3 tablespoons of green onion to the mixture and stir.

6

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the chicken remains soft.

7

Whip up 8 eggs in a bowl and add them to the pan, scrambling them with the meat mixture until just cooked.

8

Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool if meal prepping.

9

To assemble the burritos, spread a heaped teaspoon of sour cream and a heaped teaspoon of sugar-free salsa on a tortilla.

10

Add a handful of spinach leaves, 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture, a quarter of an avocado, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

11

Fold the burrito by tucking in one side, then the shorter sides, and rolling it tightly.

12

Add half a teaspoon of butter to a pan on medium heat and let it melt.

13

Place the burrito in the butter and fry on all sides until browned and the cheese melts.

14

Let the burritos cool slightly before wrapping them in foil or parchment paper for meal prep.
