🌯 Breakfast Burritos Recipes provide quick, flavorful morning meals packed with protein and zestful salsa for a satisfying start to your day.
🍳 Perfect for busy mornings, these burritos combine spicy sausage, cheesy eggs, and fresh avocado-tomato salsa wrapped in warm tortillas.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced

½ cup diced seeded tomatoes (from 1 to 2 tomatoes)

1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro

4 large eggs

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon salt

½ lb spicy sausage (such as chorizo, Italian, or preferred variety), removed from casings

1⅓ cups (6 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

4 (10-inch) burrito-size flour tortillas

Vegetable oil for cooking

1 large avocado adds freshness and spice

4 large eggs provides protein and structure

Instructions

1-First, make the salsa by combining all the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl and mixing them well; set it aside for later.

2-Next, prepare the eggs by whisking them with smoked paprika and salt in another bowl.

3-Then, cook the sausage in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat, stirring until it’s browned, which takes about 4 to 5 minutes, and transfer it to a plate with a slotted spoon.

4-After that, reduce the heat to low, add the eggs to the pan, and scramble them until just cooked through; move them to a plate too.

5-Now, assemble the burritos by spooning about ¼ cup of the avocado salsa onto each tortilla, then topping with a quarter of the sausage, a quarter of the eggs, and ⅓ cup of cheese. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly, tucking in the edges as you go.

6-Finally, lightly coat the pan with oil, heat it over medium heat, and place the burritos seam side down to cook covered until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip them and cook a bit more until golden and heated through. This whole process takes around 40 minutes total, making it perfect for quick meals.
