Breakfast Burritos with Sausage Recipe

This recipe makes 4-6 breakfast burritos, depending on size.

Ingredients

• 1 pound sausage, casings removed
• 1/2 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 eggs
• 6 tortillas (flour or corn)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack work well)
• 1 can (4.5 oz) diced green chilies
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional fillings: diced bell peppers, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa

Instructions

1. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside. Leave the drippings in the skillet.
3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt. Pour the eggs over the onion and garlic in the skillet. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet with the eggs and stir to combine.
7. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
8. Assemble the burritos by spooning the sausage and egg mixture onto a tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of cheese, a spoonful of diced green chilies, and any desired optional fillings.
9. Roll the burrito up tightly and repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Tips

For an extra-fluffy burrito, add a sprinkle of cheese to the tortilla before adding the sausage and egg mixture.

Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Pepper Jack or Queso Fresco, for a unique flavor.

Consider making a batch of these burritos on the weekend and freezing them for a quick and easy breakfast on-the-go during the week. Simply wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze. Reheat in the microwave or oven when needed.
