Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 0.5 cup diced onions
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil or butter
- 0.5 cup salsa (optional)
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil or butter over medium heat.
Add diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Stir constantly to scramble the eggs gently, cooking until they are fluffy and just set, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the egg mixture. Stir to combine and allow the cheese to melt.
Warm the flour tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side or by microwaving them for 10-15 seconds each.
Divide the egg mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas, placing it in the center of each one.
If desired, add salsa and hot sauce on top of the egg mixture for extra flavor.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Serve immediately or wrap the burritos in foil to keep them warm. These can also be refrigerated or frozen for later and reheated in a microwave or oven.
