This reflux-friendly breakfast wrap skips common acid triggers like spicy sausage, tomatoes, and vinegar. Instead, it uses lean turkey sausage, creamy eggs, mild cheese, and a crispy hash brown in a soft tortilla. Great for weekend mornings or easy make-ahead breakfasts.

Ingredients Needed:

4 scallions: sliced, mild and low acid.
¼ cup diced sautéed yellow or orange bell pepper: instead of acidic fire-roasted peppers.
4 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese (1 cup shredded): gentle and reflux-safe.
3 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or avocado oil): for cooking.
4 turkey breakfast sausage patties (mild, lean): cooked.
4 frozen hash brown patties: baked or pan-cooked.
4 large eggs: whisked for protein.
¼ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt (optional): adds creaminess in place of sour cream.
½ teaspoon salt: or to taste.
¼ teaspoon black pepper: optional, for mild seasoning.
4 slices low-fat cheese (optional): or omit for lighter version.
4 burrito-size flour tortillas (12-inch): soft and easy to roll.

How To Make Low Acid Breakfast Burritos:

Prep Veggies and Cheese: Slice scallions and dice bell pepper. Grate mozzarella.

Cook Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook turkey patties until browned and fully cooked (about 4–5 minutes per side). Set aside.

Cook Hash Browns: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil and cook hash browns until golden and crisp, about 5–7 minutes total.

Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt (if using), salt, pepper, and half of the scallions. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet, scramble eggs gently until just set.

Warm Tortillas: Microwave tortillas on a plate covered with a damp paper towel for 30 seconds.

Assemble Burritos: For each tortilla, layer: 1 hash brown patty, 1 sausage (halved), ⅓ cup eggs, 1 tbsp sautéed peppers, 1 tbsp scallions, 1 slice low-fat cheese (optional), ¼ cup shredded mozzarella.

Wrap: Fold bottom of tortilla over filling, then fold in sides and roll tightly.

Crisp Burritos (Optional): Wipe skillet clean. Cook burritos seam-side down over medium-low heat until golden-brown on both sides (1–2 minutes per side).
