Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 tortilla warmer or aluminum foil
  • 1 knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbled
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup diced bell pepper any color
  • ¼ cup diced onion
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10 inches)
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • optional fresh cilantro for garnish
  • optional salsa for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled breakfast sausage. Cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently to combine with the sausage and vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are set but still moist.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture. Let it sit for a minute to melt the cheese.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a tortilla warmer or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
  • Divide the egg and sausage mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll them up tightly, folding in the sides as you do to prevent any filling from spilling out.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and salsa on the side, if desired.

Notes

Feel free to customize your burritos with other ingredients like avocado, jalapeños, or black beans.
To make ahead, prepare the filling and store it in the fridge overnight. Reheat before assembling the burritos.
These burritos can be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
