Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large flour tortillas
- 10 pieces large eggs
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup bell peppers (diced)
- 0.5 cup onion (diced)
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage and cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside in another bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spray the skillet with non-stick cooking spray and pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a small handful of cheese (about 1/4 cup) in the center of the tortilla, followed by a portion of scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables, and sausage. Be careful not to overfill the tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom to create a tight burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped burritos in a large resealable freezer bag or container. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, remove the foil and microwave a burrito on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes on high. If still cold in the center, microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. Serve and enjoy!
