Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 piece bell pepper (optional, diced)
- 1 piece small onion (optional, diced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup milk
- 8 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking up the sausage into small crumbles, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. If using, add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove the sausage and vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter to coat the pan. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are set and scrambled to your desired texture. Remove from heat.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly divide the cooked sausage mixture, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese among the tortillas, layering the ingredients in the center of each tortilla.
To wrap each burrito, fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll it tightly from one end to the other to form a sealed burrito.
To freeze, wrap each burrito securely in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag with the date and contents.
When ready to eat, unwrap a burrito and reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through if needed, or until the burrito is heated through. If desired, you can also reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
