Description
Quick and filling breakfast burritos packed with eggs, sausage, and cheese that can be customized with your favorite add-ins.
Ingredients
- 6 burrito-size flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, diced onions, salsa
Instructions
- Cook the sausage. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through.
- Whisk the eggs. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Scramble the eggs with the sausage. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the eggs to the skillet with the sausage. Stir gently until the eggs are softly set.
- Warm the tortillas (optional but helpful). Warm each tortilla for a few seconds in a dry pan or microwave so it bends without cracking.
- Fill the burritos. Lay a tortilla flat. Add a portion of the egg-sausage mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Add any peppers/onions, and salsa if using.
- Wrap tightly. Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up, keeping it snug so the filling stays put.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- To freeze (meal prep): Wrap each burrito tightly and place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
- To reheat: Microwave for 1–2 minutes, or until hot throughout.
Notes
Great for meal prep, make a batch and freeze for quick breakfasts later. Keep salsa on the side when freezing to avoid sogginess.
