Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 200 g (7 ounces) breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
- 4 large eggs
Dairy and Cheese Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
Supplementary and Flavor Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/2 cup salsa (for serving)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk eggs with milk in a mixing bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature and gently scramble eggs until softly set, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate cooked sausage and bell peppers into the scrambled eggs, stirring thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Continue cooking the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring all components are heated completely.
- Position tortillas on a clean surface and distribute the warm egg mixture equally across each wrap.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling, creating a rich and melty layer.
- Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly to create compact burritos.
- Return skillet to medium heat and place burritos seam-side down to create a crispy exterior.
- Cook burritos for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and thoroughly warmed.
- Transfer to serving plates, slice diagonally, and accompany with fresh salsa for added zest.
Notes
- Customize the protein by swapping sausage with bacon, ham, or chorizo for varied flavor profiles.
- Keep eggs creamy by removing them from heat when slightly wet, as they’ll continue cooking from residual warmth.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline the cooking process and ensure each burrito is assembled quickly.
- Make these burritos freezer-friendly by wrapping individually in foil and storing for up to one month, perfect for busy mornings.
