Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Cooking Fats & Condiments
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Sour cream and salsa, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Sauté vegetables: Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions and sauté until they soften, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cook scrambled eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, ensuring they remain fluffy.
- Combine fillings: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked breakfast sausage, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed and the cheese begins to melt.
- Warm tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are pliable and easy to roll.
- Assemble burritos: Divide the egg and sausage mixture evenly among the tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll them tightly to form burritos.
- Optional crisping: For a crispy finish, heat a skillet and place each burrito seam side down. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and sealed.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast burritos warm with optional sour cream and salsa on the side.
Notes
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or chorizo for different flavors.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add sautéed mushrooms or black beans.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary needs.
- Make ahead by preparing the filling and assembling burritos; reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- Adjust spice levels by adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
