Ingredients
  

Burrito Filling

  • 6 large large eggs Fresh eggs for the scramble
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers Any color pepper can be used
  • 1 cup diced onions Chopped onions enhance flavor
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or bacon) Feel free to substitute bacon if desired
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice) Use your favorite melting cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas Large tortillas for wrapping
  • to taste salt and pepper Essential for flavor enhancement

Serving Suggestions

  • as needed Salsa For serving on the side
  • as needed Sour cream For serving on the side

Instructions
 

Cooking Vegetables

  • In a large skillet, cook the bell peppers and onions over medium heat until softened, stirring often for even cooking.
  • Keep an eye on color; a little browning adds caramelized sweetness that’s worth the extra minute.

Adding Sausage and Eggs

  • Add the cooked sausage and stir to combine, letting it warm through for about a minute.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour them into the skillet and scramble until just set.
  • Remove from heat when still slightly soft to ensure moistness as they finish cooking in residual heat.

Assembling Burritos

  • Lay a tortilla flat and fill with the egg mixture and cheese, rolling tightly and folding in the sides as you go.
  • Assemble the remaining tortillas just before serving for the best texture.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve burritos with a bowl of salsa, a dish of sour cream, and any extra toppings desired.
  • For meal prep, store each burrito in a meal container with salsa on the side.

Notes

Let leftovers cool to room temperature before wrapping to avoid sogginess. Store in the fridge for up to three days or wrap and freeze for up to two months. Reheating in the oven gives the best texture.
