Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz breakfast sausage
- 6 eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the sausage mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove the sausage and pepper mixture from the skillet, set aside, and wipe the skillet clean.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. If using hot sauce, whisk it in as well.
Heat the cleaned skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and scrambled.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble each burrito, spoon a generous portion of the sausage and pepper mixture onto the center of a tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro.
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.
Serve the burritos warm with additional salsa or sour cream on the side if desired. Enjoy your Sunday brunch!
