Heat a large, nonstick ceramic skillet over medium-high heat.
While the skillet is heating, whisk the eggs and egg whites together in a separate, large bowl. Once the skillet is heated, pour in the eggs and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring slowly the whole time, until eggs are scrambled and are just cooked.
Transfer eggs to a plate and place in the fridge to quickly cool down.
To the same skillet, add the turkey sausage. Use a silicone spatula to break it up into smaller pieces, and stir until sausage is cooked though, about 4-6 minutes. If there is any excess fat or liquid in the pan, carefully drain it out now.
Add the diced peppers, onions, and seasonings to the sausage and continue to sauté about 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
Transfer cooked sausage and veggies to a plate and place in the fridge to quicky cool down, at least 30 minutes. Ensuring the eggs and sausage are cooled is the best way to ensure no steam is trapped in the burrito and they don't get soggy!
Place tortillas out on a clean surface, then assemble the burritos by layering shredded cheese, eggs, and the sausage and veggie mixture. Fold the tortilla sides in, then roll up the burrito.
To enjoy immediately, I recommend heating the burrito in a skillet to get it warm and toasty on both sides. Enjoy!
If meal prepping or freezing the burritos, wrap in foil, label, and then transfer to the fridge or freezer. I wait to toast/ reheat until ready to eat. Enjoy!
