๐ŸŒ… Hearty morning meal packed with protein and vegetables to fuel your day
๐ŸŒฏ Customizable breakfast option perfect for meal prep and busy mornings

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 burritos

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 2 cups chopped vegetables (such as red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, or broccoli)

– 1 pound breakfast sausage or Italian sausage (casings removed)

– 8 eggs

– 2 pinches salt to taste

– 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

– 8 burrito-size tortillas

– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey jack, pepper jack, or a combination)

Instructions

1-Getting breakfast burritos right is all about following a few easy steps that anyone can manage at home. Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium or large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and cook the 2 cups of chopped vegetables for about 4 minutes until they soften. Once done, transfer the vegetables to a bowl to keep them ready for the next stage.

2-Next, in the same pan, add the crumbled 1 pound of breakfast sausage or Italian sausage and cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, then transfer it to the bowl with the vegetables, making sure to leave the grease behind. For the eggs, whisk the 8 eggs with 2 pinches of salt to taste, wipe the skillet clean, melt 2 teaspoons of unsalted butter over medium heat, and gently cook the eggs over medium-low heat by scraping and folding slowly until they’re just cooked through. Turn off the heat and add the eggs to the sausage and vegetable mixture, mixing gently to combine everything.

3-Now it’s time to assemble: Place one-eighth of the filling slightly off-center on each of the 8 burrito-size tortillas, sprinkle with one-quarter cup of shredded cheese, and wrap them burrito-style. You can serve them immediately, bake at 375ยฐF for 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp the tortillas, or prepare them for freezing. This method ensures a fresh, hot meal that’s simple to enjoy right away or save for later. For the full details on why these methods work so well, visit this quick and easy breakfast burrito guide.
