Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sausage & Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)

Assembly

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 large flour tortillas

Optional Toppings

  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Avocado

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Sausage: In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Scramble the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently, until soft scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in the cooked vegetables and sausage to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Assemble Burritos: Warm the flour tortillas to make them pliable. Spoon an equal amount of the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the sides in and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
  6. Freeze for Later: Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place them in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 1 month.
  7. Reheat: To reheat, unwrap the frozen burrito and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes if still wrapped in foil.
  8. Serve with Toppings: Add salsa, sour cream, or avocado slices as desired for extra flavor and creaminess.

Notes

  • You can substitute breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or turkey sausage for a different flavor profile.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
  • Add extra vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to increase nutrition.
  • Make sure to cool the cooked fillings before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas.
  • These burritos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days if not frozen.
