Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 link Cooked breakfast sausage or turkey sausage
- 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped green onions
- 1 piece Flour tortilla (8-inch)
- 1 teaspoon Butter or cooking oil
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter or cooking oil.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until soft scrambled and just set. Remove eggs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, briefly sauté the diced bell pepper until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
Reheat the cooked sausage in the skillet or microwave, then chop it into small pieces.
Lay the flour tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese down the center.
Layer the scrambled eggs, sausage, sautéed bell peppers, and green onions over the cheese.
If desired, spoon salsa on top of the fillings.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly into a burrito.
Optional: Place the burrito seam-side down on the skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Wrap the burrito in foil or parchment paper for portability and enjoy your On the Go Breakfast!
