Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1 cup Egg Beaters 99% egg substitute equiv to 8 eggs
4 x eggs
2 tbl water
salt and pepper to taste
3/8 oz Healthy Choice Lowfat Breakfast Sausage 8
patties- 1 package
1/2 x onion chopped
1/2 x green pepper chopped
10 x 98% Fatfree Flour Tortillas 1 bag/Mission brand
1/2 cup shredded lowfat cheese *Sargento light
1 tbl butter or margarine
Instructions:
Instructions: Saute onion and pepper in non-stick pan which has been sprayed with desired
flavor of non-stick spray. Add cut up Healthy Choice sausage and stir into vegetable mixture. (No need to cook sausage; its fully pre-cooked.)

Transfer to a bowl or bag and refrigerate. Lightly beat eggs and egg substitute with the water. Melt butter or margarine in the skillet that was used to saute the onions and peppers (or use non-stick spray). When melted, stir in egg mixture. Cook eggs until almost done, keeping in fairly large curds. Salt and pepper
to taste.

Combine eggs and cooled sausage mixture. Warm tortillas in the microwave.

Place about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture in the center of a tortilla.

Top with 1 scant tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll tortilla and wrap in waxed paper, tape to seal (label if making more than one kind).

Place waxed paper wrapped tortillas in a zip-lock freezer bag in the freezer.

Cook a single wrapped burrito in the microwave for about 2 minutes on 50% power (or defrost) (would take longer if you were doing multiples). Then microwave for about 1/2 minute more on full power or until hot. Just peel the paper down as you eat so that all the filling stays in.
