Breakfast Burrito
A hearty and customizable breakfast burrito filled with savory sausage, scrambled eggs, melty cheddar cheese, and fresh avocado and salsa, perfect for busy mornings or a leisurely brunch.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken)
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded (Monterey Jack is a great swap)
- 4-6 pieces Tortillas (8–10 inch burrito-size is easiest)
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced (optional but highly recommended)
- Salsa (mild, medium, hot—your call)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or butter (use butter for extra richness)
Instructions
Preparation
- Set a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter.
- Add the breakfast sausage and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until the whites and yolks are fully combined.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet with the sausage. Stir gently and continuously until the eggs are set and no longer glossy.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in shredded cheddar until melted.
- Warm tortillas by microwaving for 15–25 seconds under a damp paper towel, or heat them in a dry skillet for a few seconds per side.
- Spoon the egg-and-sausage mixture into each tortilla. Add avocado slices and salsa to taste. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
Serving
- Slice in half if you like, and eat immediately while hot.
Notes
To avoid soggy tortillas, let the egg-and-sausage mixture cool for a few minutes before rolling; use less salsa inside; and serve extra salsa on the side. For best texture, wrap tightly and refrigerate or freeze burritos as needed.
