Ingredients
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound breakfast sausage
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Optional: 1 cup hash browns, cooked
Optional: 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
Optional: hot sauce to taste
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Cook until browned, then set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
3. In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter and cook the egg mixture, stirring gently until soft curds form. Remove from heat before fully set.
4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave with a damp paper towel to make them pliable.
5. To assemble: lay a tortilla flat, add scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar. Add optional ingredients as desired.
6. Fold sides in and roll tightly into a burrito shape.
7. Toast each burrito in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
8. Serve warm or wrap individually and freeze for future meals.
Notes
For an even heartier burrito, add hash browns or leftover roasted vegetables.
When freezing, wrap burritos tightly to prevent freezer burn and label with the date.
