Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
- 8 oz (225 g) breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked (pork or turkey)
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch / 25 cm)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
- Hot sauce or salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add crumbled sausage and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat, leaving about a teaspoon in the pan.
- Sauté the veggies: Add diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Transfer veggies to the plate with sausage.
- Prepare the eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs: Return skillet to low heat, add butter or oil if needed. Pour in egg mixture and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just set but still creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in sour cream or Greek yogurt and chopped herbs if using.
- Assemble the burritos: Warm tortillas briefly to make pliable. Lay a tortilla flat and layer about 1/3 cup scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup cooked sausage, 2 tablespoons sautéed veggies, and 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese.
- Wrap tightly: Fold sides over filling and roll from one end to the other to form a tight burrito.
- Freeze individually: Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with date. Store up to 3 months.
- To reheat: Unwrap and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until heated through.
Notes
Cook eggs low and slow to avoid rubbery texture. Warm tortillas before wrapping to prevent cracking. Drain excess grease from sausage to avoid soggy burritos. Wrap burritos individually to prevent sticking. Reheat by microwaving or baking for best texture.
