A quick and comforting breakfast burrito featuring savory sausage, creamy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese wrapped in a warm tortilla. Perfect for busy mornings or a cozy brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces ground pork breakfast sausage
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage, breaking it up gently with a spatula. Sprinkle in smoked paprika and dried sage. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. If using onions and bell peppers, add them to the skillet with the sausage about halfway through cooking. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until blended and slightly frothy.
  4. Remove sausage and veggies from skillet and set aside on a warm plate. Add butter to the skillet and melt over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and cook slowly, stirring gently to form soft curds, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking; eggs should remain slightly moist.
  5. Warm tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave wrapped in a damp towel for 20-30 seconds.
  6. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 of the sausage and veggie mixture in the center, top with scrambled eggs and a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Fold sides in and roll tightly from one end to the other.
  7. Optional: For extra crispness, place the assembled burrito seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with salsa or hot sauce on the side.

Notes

Cook eggs low and slow for creamy texture. Avoid overfilling burritos to prevent bursting. Warm tortillas properly to keep them pliable. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas or lettuce wraps. For dairy-free, omit cheese and substitute butter with olive oil or vegan margarine.
