Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup salsa (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Flour Tortillas: Soft and flexible, these tortillas are the perfect vessel for wrapping up your breakfast ingredients.
  • Eggs: The main protein source in the burritos, eggs provide a rich, creamy texture.
  • Cheese: Cheddar adds a sharp, melty richness that makes the burritos extra flavorful.
  • Sausage or Bacon: Both add savory flavors that pair well with the eggs and cheese.
  • Bell Peppers and Onions: Optional, but these veggies provide extra texture and flavor.

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Cook the Sausage or Bacon:
    In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage or bacon over medium heat until fully cooked and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside. If you’re using bacon, crumble it after cooking.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables (Optional):
    In the same skillet, add a bit of oil or butter and sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Scramble the Eggs:
    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until fully cooked.
  4. Combine the Fillings:
    Add the cooked sausage or bacon, sautéed vegetables (if using), and shredded cheddar cheese to the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine and melt the cheese.

Assemble the Burritos:

  1. Warm the Tortillas:
    Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or heat them on a dry skillet for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
  2. Fill the Tortillas:
    Place a generous scoop of the egg mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add a tablespoon of salsa if desired.
  3. Wrap the Burritos:
    Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.

Freeze the Burritos:

  1. Wrap and Freeze:
    Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
