Gluten Free Low Carb Breakfast Burrito

This is not necessarily the "cleanest" eating recipe, but one of my favorites. Completely gluten free and low carb, and full of green spinach which is very healthy!


Ingredients (serves 2 people):
1/2 roll/pound of ground sausage (I use sage sausage)
1/2 cup frozen or fresh spinach
1/3 block low fat cream cheese
2 oz. fresh jack cheese
1 fresh chopped garlic clove
4 large eggs
salt and pepper to taste
cajun seasoning to taste

Brown the sausage in a skillet. While it is cooking, warm in (in the microwave) the spinach, jack cheese and fresh chopped garlic until cheese is all melted. Get it out and stir so the ingredients are thoroughly blended. Once the sausage is finished browning, add this spinach/cheese mixture to the sausage and then put in the cream cheese. Stir on low heat and blend until cream cheese is melted and blended.

In a bowl I whip the 4 eggs and pour them all into a non-stick skillet with some light butter and olive oil. The eggs should spread out to fill the entire bottom of the skillet, like an omelet. You are wanting all of the egg to cook like an omelet, without flipping it, so ** I put a lid on top to cook the top of the omelet!

Once the omelet is finished, cut it in half down the middle and the two halves serve as your two burritos. Put them on plates and put the sausage/spinach/cheese mixture on top and just roll the egg over so it has the contents inside.

Sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper and cajun seasoning on top and ENJOY!
