Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups liquid egg whites
  • 0.5 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp turmeric
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 large high-fiber low-carb tortillas
  • 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a large non stick skillet over medium high heat, add the lean ground turkey, chili powder, and cumin. Brown the meat, breaking it into small crumbles, until the pink is entirely gone and the edges look slightly browned (approximately 7-10 minutes).
  2. Add the diced red bell pepper and drained black beans to the skillet with the turkey. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the peppers lose their raw snap but stay vibrant. Note: This allows the beans to soak up the residual spices and juices from the turkey.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the large eggs, liquid egg whites, cottage cheese, smoked paprika, and turmeric until no large white streaks of cottage cheese remain.
  4. Clean the skillet or use a separate non stick pan over medium low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently and constantly with a silicone spatula, until soft, velvety curds form. Note: Stop while they still look slightly wet, as they will carry over cook significantly.
  5. Lay out the four tortillas. Distribute the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the center of each tortilla to create that crucial fat barrier.
  6. Layer the turkey and bean mixture over the cheese, which will start the melting process, followed by the scrambled eggs and fresh cilantro.
  7. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly keeping the filling tucked in with your fingers as you go.
  8. Optionally, sear the seam side down in a hot pan for 30 seconds until the tortilla turns golden and the seam stays closed.
