Ingredients
8 large flour tortillas
10 large eggs
1/4 cup milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter or oil
12 ounces breakfast sausage
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional: 1 cup sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and gently scramble until just set. Remove from heat.
4. Warm each tortilla for 10–15 seconds to prevent cracking.
5. Lay out a tortilla, add a scoop of scrambled eggs, sausage, and a sprinkle of cheese (and optional veggies).
6. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
7. To enjoy now, toast in a skillet until golden. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag.
8. Reheat in the microwave (2–3 minutes from frozen), and crisp in a skillet or toaster oven if desired.
Notes
Let all fillings cool before rolling to avoid soggy tortillas.
Don’t overstuff; use moderate portions so the burritos seal tightly.
Wrap tightly and label when freezing to keep track of contents and date.
