Ingredients
6 large eggs
0.5 cup milk
0.5 pound breakfast sausage
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
0.25 cup diced onion
0.25 cup diced bell pepper
4 large flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter or oil
salt and black pepper to taste
fresh cilantro or green onions optional
salsa or hot sauce optional
Instructions
1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Set aside.
3. Whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl. Scramble over medium-low heat in butter or oil until just set. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
5. Layer each tortilla with scrambled eggs, sausage, sautéed veggies, and cheese. Add salsa if desired.
6. Roll tightly, folding in the sides first, then rolling up from the bottom.
7. Toast seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
8. Slice and serve immediately, or wrap and store for later.
Notes
Make-ahead friendly — great for meal prep.
