Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup cilantro
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat.
Dice the red bell pepper and onion into small, uniform pieces.
Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet and saute until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the pepper and onion mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sausage and vegetables.
Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the egg mixture from the heat and set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Lay a warm tortilla flat and spoon about 1/6th of the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture onto the center.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
Top with a couple of tablespoons of salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.
Fold each side of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a burrito shape.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos immediately, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
