Print Recipe

These breakfast burritos are filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and vibrant veggies, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Ideal for meal prep or a satisfying breakfast on the go!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or diced ham or bacon)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 large eggs and add 1 cup of milk. Whisk them together until well combined.
  2. Season the egg mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  3. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil or spray with cooking spray over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook evenly. Scramble the eggs until they are just set but still slightly soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat and fold in the cooked breakfast sausage (or your choice of meat) and diced tomatoes, if using. Mix until everything is well combined.
  6. Finally, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it melts into the warm filling. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly while you prepare the tortillas.
  7. Lay out the 8 large flour tortillas on a clean surface or a large cutting board. Make sure they are warm and pliable; you can microwave them for about 10-15 seconds if they are cold.
  8. Using a large spoon, scoop about 1/2 cup of the egg and filling mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Be careful not to overfill.
  9. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, tucking in the sides as you go to create a neat burrito shape. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
  10. Once all burritos are assembled, you can choose to wrap them individually in aluminum foil for easy storage or place them in a large airtight container.
  11. If you want to enjoy the burritos immediately, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Place the wrapped burritos on a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. For a crispy exterior, unwrap them for the last 5 minutes of baking.
  13. For make-ahead options, freeze the burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
  14. To reheat a frozen burrito, microwave it on a microwave-safe plate for about 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, or bake it from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for about 30-35 minutes.
  15. Serve the heated burritos with fresh salsa, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream.
  16. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for added freshness.
  17. For extra flavor, serve with hot sauce or a side of guacamole for dipping.
