Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage or plant-based alternative
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • hot sauce or salsa optional; for serving

Method
 

  1. Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  2. Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the same skillet and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook until just set, stirring occasionally.
  4. Lay the tortillas on a clean surface and distribute the sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese evenly among them.
  5. Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll them tightly from the bottom up, ensuring they are well-sealed.
  6. Place the burritos on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flash freeze for approximately one hour to help them maintain their shape.
  7. Wrap each frozen burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag.

Notes

Ingredient Flexibility: I often swap the sausage for chopped bacon or even black beans if I want something lighter, but I always make sure the meat is fully drained to keep the tortillas crisp.
