Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the sausage and vegetables.
- Cook Sausage: Crumble the breakfast sausage into the skillet and cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks to ensure even browning.
- Whisk Eggs: While the sausage is cooking, whisk the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and black pepper for flavor.
- Remove Sausage: Once the sausage is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside to make space for cooking the vegetables and eggs.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add diced bell pepper and onion, cooking them until softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes, to bring out their sweetness.
- Add Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables to begin the scrambling process.
- Scramble Eggs: As the eggs start to set, gently stir them to scramble, ensuring a creamy texture without overcooking.
- Combine Sausage: Once eggs are cooked through, add the cooked sausage back into the skillet to mix all the protein and vegetables together.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg and sausage mixture to add a melty, cheesy flavor.
- Melt Cheese: Allow the cheese to melt slightly in the warm skillet for optimal taste and texture.
- Finish Mixture: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped fresh cilantro for a fresh, herbal note.
- Assemble Burritos: Place a large flour tortilla on a clean work surface and spoon a portion of the egg, sausage, and cheese mixture onto the center.
- Wrap Burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
- Repeat: Repeat the filling and wrapping process with the remaining tortillas and the egg mixture.
- Serve: Serve the cheesy sausage breakfast burritos immediately for the best taste, or wrap them in foil to enjoy later on the go.
