• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 4 large flour tortillas

Timing

Making the Sausage Breakfast Burrito takes about 10 minutes for preparation and 15 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

1. Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

1. Add Olive Oil: In the same skillet, add the olive oil.
2. Cook Onions and Peppers: Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

1. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
2. Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheese until the cheese is melted.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

1. Fill Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a portion of the sausage and egg mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
2. Repeat: Continue with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5: Serve

1. Garnish and Enjoy: Serve the burritos warm, garnished with chopped green onions and accompanied by salsa or hot sauce if desired.
