Ingredients: 8 large eggs; 3/4 cup cottage cheese; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 2 cups fresh baby spinach; 8 (8 to 10-inch) whole wheat tortillas; 1 (15-ounce) can beans (black or pinto), drained and rinsed; 1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheese, optional; 1/2 cup salsa, well-drained, optional; 1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked, optional

1 In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until mostly smooth. Alternatively, if you don’t like the texture of the cottage cheese, you can blend it with an immersion blender. Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are about halfway set, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and continue cooking until the eggs are fully set and the spinach is wilted, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.

2 Lay out the tortillas on a countertop. Divide the egg mixture evenly among them (about 1/3 cup per burrito), then top with beans (about 2 tablespoons per burrito) and any optional add-ins, if using. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into burritos.

3 Place the burritos on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Remove from the freezer and wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Alternatively, you can skip the freezing and wrap tightly in parchment or foil, then place in a zip-top bag and store in the refrigerator for 3 days.

4 For the best texture, reheat in the air fryer: Remove the wrapping and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Air fry at 350°F until the burrito is heated through, 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 375°F and keep the burrito wrapped in foil. Bake on a baking sheet until the burrito is heated through, 25 to 30 minutes. To reheat in the microwave, remove the foil or parchment and wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave on half power for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Allow the burrito to sit for 1 minute before eating. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
