Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage or ground beef
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onion
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Salsa or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Cook the meat and vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage or ground beef with the diced bell peppers and onion. Break up the meat as it cooks until fully cooked and slightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using until well combined.
- Scramble the eggs with the meat: Pour the egg mixture over the cooked meat and vegetables in the skillet. Scramble gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the scramble.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the burritos: Spoon an equal portion of the sausage scramble onto each tortilla. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form burritos.
- Serve: Serve the burritos warm with salsa or hot sauce on the side for added flavor.
Notes
- These burritos can be made ahead and wrapped individually in foil for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option or add cooked potatoes for a heartier filling.
