Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions or cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
- Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving some of the drippings for the eggs.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat the butter or oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or microwave them for 15-20 seconds to soften.
- Assemble the burritos: Lay each tortilla flat and evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheese, salsa, and any optional ingredients like avocado, sour cream, or green onions.
- Roll the burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly, tucking in the ends to create a burrito.
- Serve or store: Serve the breakfast burritos immediately, or wrap them in foil for easy transport. If meal prepping, these burritos can be wrapped in foil and frozen for up to a month—just reheat in the microwave or oven before eating.
