Ingredients You Will Need
(Makes 4 burritos)
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced onions
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: salsa, avocado, hot sauce, sour cream
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fillings
Dice the bell peppers and onions. Cook sausage until browned (if using raw), then set aside.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, add peppers and onions, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Pour in eggs and scramble until softly set.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side or microwave between damp paper towels for 30 seconds. This makes them pliable.
Step 4: Assemble the Burritos
Lay tortilla flat, add a portion of eggs, sausage, and cheese in the center. Add optional toppings like salsa or avocado.
Step 5: Fold Neatly
Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up, keeping the filling compact.
Step 6: Serve or Store
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for later. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
