Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 links breakfast sausages
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 0.5 cups salsa
- 1 piece avocado (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Slice the breakfast sausages into small pieces and cook them in the skillet until browned and fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos: Lay one tortilla flat and place an even portion of scrambled eggs in the center. Top with a portion of cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and slices of avocado, if using.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable breakfast option.
