- 1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 8 large eggs, whisked

Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Dice onion and bell pepper, shred cheese, whisk eggs, and measure spices.
- Cook Protein: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey/chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Drain grease. Season with half of the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add onion and bell pepper. Sauté until tender, 5-8 minutes. Season with remaining spices, salt, and pepper.
- Scramble Eggs: Push aromatics to one side. Pour whisked eggs into the empty side. Cook, gently pushing and folding, until just set and fluffy. Mix eggs with aromatics.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Sprinkle cheese, then add cooked protein, egg mixture, and more cheese. Fold in sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Serve immediately or store for later.
