Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast or Italian sausage (removed from casings)
- 8 large eggs
- 8 burrito-size tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey jack, pepper jack, or a combination)
Vegetables:
- 2 cups chopped vegetables (red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, broccoli)
Seasonings and Fats:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 2 pinches salt, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté diced bell peppers and onions in olive oil over medium heat until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, releasing their aromatic flavors.
- Introduce ground sausage to the vegetable medley, breaking it into crumbly pieces and cooking until it develops a rich, golden-brown exterior and is completely cooked through.
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk until the mixture becomes uniformly smooth and pale yellow.
- Transfer the whisked eggs to a preheated non-stick skillet with a touch of melted butter, gently folding and stirring until the eggs achieve a soft, creamy consistency without overcooking.
- Briefly warm tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave to enhance their pliability and prevent cracking during the rolling process.
- Layer the cooked sausage mixture, fluffy scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up to create a compact, sealed burrito package.
- Serve immediately while the burritos are still warm, allowing the melted cheese to remain gooey and the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- Swap sausage with turkey or plant-based alternatives for healthier protein options that still pack delicious flavor.
- Prep vegetables ahead of time to streamline morning cooking and reduce overall breakfast preparation time.
- Add hot sauce or salsa for extra zesty kick and customize heat levels according to personal spice preferences.
- Wrap burritos tightly in foil and freeze for quick grab-and-go breakfasts during busy weekday mornings.
