Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 medium avocado
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper; whisk until well combined.
In a large non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage. Stir gently with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until they are pliable, about 10-15 seconds each.
To assemble each burrito, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a quarter of the sausage and egg mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla.
Top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, a few tablespoons of diced tomatoes, a tablespoon of diced onion, and some chopped cilantro.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh. Place a few slices of avocado on top of the filling.
Add a generous spoonful of salsa, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up to enclose the filling.
Repeat the filling and wrapping process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serve the burritos warm, optionally with additional salsa on the side.
