Instructions
Season the Pork
Place 224 g ground pork in a medium bowl. Add 5 g minced garlic, 4 g salt, 1 g black pepper, 1 g dried sage, 0.5 g dried thyme, 5 g apple cider vinegar, and 10 g sugar‑free maple syrup. Mix with hands until evenly combined.
Time: PT5M
Cook the Sausage
Heat a large skillet over medium‑high. Add 5 g avocado oil, then spread the seasoned pork in an even layer. Let it sit untouched for 2–3 minutes to develop a brown crust.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Medium‑high
Flip and Break Up Sausage
Flip the meat and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Use the plastic meat chopper to break the sausage into bite‑size pieces.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium‑high
Prepare Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together 5 whole eggs, 7 egg whites, 3 g salt, and 1 g pepper until fully blended.
Time: PT3M
Cook Scrambled Eggs
Reduce skillet heat to medium‑low. Add 4 g avocado oil, then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Continuously stir with a rubber spatula until the eggs are just set with a little liquid remaining.
Time: PT4M
Temperature: Medium‑low
Combine Sausage and Eggs
Transfer the cooked sausage pieces to the large bowl with the scrambled eggs. Toss gently to combine.
Time: PT1M
Shred Cheese
Using a box grater, shred 112 g Colby Jack cheese.
Time: PT2M
Assemble Burritos
Lay each tortilla flat. Sprinkle ~22 g shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then spread an even portion of the sausage‑egg mixture on top of the cheese. Fold the sides into a “Y” shape, roll from the bottom, and tuck the ends to seal.
Time: PT10M
Steam‑Seal and Brown Burritos
Spritz a thin layer of water onto the seam of each burrito (use a spray bottle or brush). Place the burrito seam‑side down in the hot skillet over medium heat. Press gently with a spatula for 20–30 seconds until steam forms and the seam seals. Flip and repeat on the opposite side without water. Continue until all sides are golden brown.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: Medium
Cool and Store
Transfer the finished burritos to a plate and let them cool for 5 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or vacuum‑seal and freeze for up to 3 months.
Time: PT5M
