kcalHearty breakfast burritos filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and melted shredded cheese, wrapped in a warm tortilla for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
6 large eggs
4 breakfast sausage links (or 1/2 lb ground sausage)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for scrambling eggs)
Salt and pepper to taste
Salsa (optional, for serving)
Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Directions
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links or ground sausage until fully cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles if using ground sausage. Set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the butter or olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the burritos: Lay out each flour tortilla and evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese on top. If desired, add a spoonful of salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Wrap the burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
- Serve or meal prep: Serve immediately with optional sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce on the side. If meal prepping, wrap each burrito in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
