Breakfast Burrito

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• ½ lb breakfast sausage (such as chorizo or Italian sausage)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your preference)
• 1 cup diced vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, sour cream, or fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced vegetables and sauté until softened (about 3-5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook, stirring gently until just set (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat.
4. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs with vegetables, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix well.
5. Assemble the Burritos:

• Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
• Spoon about ¼ of the filling mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
• Top with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese.
• Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose everything tightly.

1. Cook the Burritos: In the same skillet (or a clean one), place the burritos seam-side down over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
2. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm with optional toppings like salsa, avocado slices, or sour cream.

Tips

• To make these burritos ahead of time, you can freeze them after assembling. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer. Reheat in a skillet or microwave when ready to eat.
• Feel free to customize your burrito by adding ingredients like black beans, jalapeños, or different types of cheese based on your preference!
