Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Vegetables and Meat
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
Other Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Sour cream and salsa, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and onions, cooking them until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook gently while stirring until the eggs are scrambled and just set, taking care not to overcook.
- Combine Ingredients: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the cooked breakfast sausage, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed and slightly melted.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they become pliable and easy to roll.
- Assemble Burritos: Divide the egg and sausage mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly to form a burrito.
- Optional Crisping: For a crispy finish, heat a skillet and place each burrito seam-side down. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the burrito is golden and sealed.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast burritos warm with optional sour cream and salsa on the side.
Notes
- Use cooked sausage to save time and add rich flavor.
- Vegetables can be swapped with your favorite sautéed veggies, such as mushrooms or spinach.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the sausage and add extra cheese or beans.
- For a spicier version, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
- Leftover burritos can be wrapped tightly and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, microwave or crisp in a skillet for best texture.
