Ingredients
- 10 large flour tortillas
- 10 large eggs
- 1 lb 0.45 kg breakfast sausage (or bacon)
- 1 cup 0.25 lb shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 bell pepper 0.3 lb, diced
- 1 small onion 0.25 lb, diced
- 2 tablespoons 0.1 lb butter or olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Optional Add-Ins:
- Salsa or hot sauce
- Avocado slices
- Hash browns
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage and Vegetables
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sausage and cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking it apart until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes, or until softened.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Burritos
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface.
- Divide the scrambled eggs, sausage, and shredded cheese evenly among the tortillas. Add any optional ingredients, like salsa or avocado.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
Step 4: Freeze the Burritos
- Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap. Place the wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container.
Step 5: Reheat and Serve To reheat:
- Microwave: Remove foil and wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 1–2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Oven: Place the burrito in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare a large batch and store for up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
- Vegetarian Option: Use plant-based sausage or skip the meat and add more veggies.
- Serving Tip: Serve with salsa or sour cream for extra flavor.
