Description
Start your morning with a warm, savory breakfast loaded with eggs, sausage, melty cheese, and bright veggies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage or turkey sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 cup spinach (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dice the bell peppers and onions so they cook quickly. If using spinach, wash and roughly chop it. Have your cooked sausage ready and your eggs nearby.
- Add a light drizzle of oil to the hot skillet. Sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until they soften and smell sweet, about 4–5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook another 1–2 minutes until wilted. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low and pour in the eggs. Stir gently and scramble until just set, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat before they get dry; they should be soft and moist.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. On each tortilla, layer scrambled eggs, sausage, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. To store, wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag.
- Serve hot with salsa, hot sauce, or a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. Add fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for brightness.
Notes
These burritos are freezer-friendly and can be reheated easily for busy mornings.
