These breakfast burritos pair browned breakfast sausage with soft scrambled eggs, roasted bell peppers, and melted cheese, all rolled into a warm flour tortilla. Roasting the peppers first adds a smoky sweetness that balances the richness of the sausage and eggs. They hold up well wrapped in foil, making them a solid make-ahead option for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1/4 cup salsa, for serving
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the bell pepper strips with olive oil and spread on a baking sheet.
-
Roast the peppers until softened and lightly charred at the edges, stirring once halfway through.
-
While the peppers roast, crumble the breakfast sausage into a 9-inch skillet over medium heat and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink.
-
Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and drain most of the fat from the skillet, leaving a thin coating.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, then pour in the egg mixture.
-
Cook the eggs, stirring gently and frequently, until softly set but still moist.
-
Remove the eggs from heat and fold in the cooked sausage and roasted peppers.
-
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 20 seconds each.
-
Divide the egg and sausage mixture among the tortillas and top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling into a burrito.
-
Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat and toast on each side until golden and the cheese melts.
-
Serve the burritos warm with salsa on the side.
