Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (spicy or mild, as preferred)
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat if necessary to avoid greasiness.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, add butter or oil. Pour in beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper. Gently scramble until eggs are just set, creamy, and fluffy without drying out.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas one at a time in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable and prevent cracking while rolling.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Place cooked sausage and scrambled eggs in the center of each warm tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top while filling is warm to melt it perfectly.
  5. Roll it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly around the filling. Optionally, toast the burrito in a pan for 1–2 minutes to crisp the outside.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for fluffier scrambled eggs with richer taste.
  • Cook sausage and eggs in batches if pan is crowded, to avoid steaming.
  • Add cheese while fillings are hot to ensure perfect melting.
  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing or cracking.
  • For freezing, double wrap burritos in foil and plastic wrap for freshness.
