Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables and Meat
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large flour tortillas
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to create a smooth egg mixture.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add cooking oil or butter. Add diced bell peppers and onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and scramble gently. Cook until eggs are just set but still moist, stirring frequently to prevent overcooking.
- Mix in Sausage and Cheese: Stir in the cooked breakfast sausage and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese melts and all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Cool the Filling: Remove the skillet from heat and let the egg mixture cool slightly to make handling easier when assembling.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas briefly—either in the microwave or on a dry skillet—to make them pliable and easier to roll.
- Assemble Burritos: Spoon an even amount of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly into a burrito shape.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the burritos to a freezer-safe bag or container for long-term storage.
- Reheat Before Serving: To serve, unwrap a burrito and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through, or reheat wrapped in foil in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve with salsa if desired.
Notes
- Customize these burritos by adding cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, spinach, or black beans for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and increase the vegetables or use plant-based sausage alternatives.
- Substitute whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
- Freeze the burritos for up to 3 months to enjoy quick and convenient breakfasts anytime.
