Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

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

Filling

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

Assembly

  • 12 large flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Cook Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add 1 cup chopped onion and 1 cup chopped bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  4. Cook Eggs with Sausage and Vegetables: Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
  5. Warm Tortillas: According to package directions, warm the 12 large flour tortillas so they are pliable and easy to roll.
  6. Assemble Burritos: Spoon the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll tightly from one edge to form a burrito, securing the filling inside.
  8. Wrap for Storage: Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to maintain freshness.
  9. Store: Place wrapped burritos in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1-2 months.
  10. Reheat and Serve: To enjoy, remove the wrapping and microwave the burrito for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Add optional toppings like salsa, sour cream, or avocado as desired.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use lean turkey sausage or plant-based sausage.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
  • These burritos can be made vegetarian by omitting the sausage and adding beans or tofu.
  • Freeze burritos individually, then place them in a freezer-safe bag to save space.
  • If microwaving from frozen, increase heating time to 3-4 minutes, turning halfway through.
  • Customize with your favorite vegetables or cheeses for variety.
