Ingredients
12medium to large eggs
1cupcheddar cheese
1poundbreakfast sausage
10-12large flour tortillas
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Beat well with a fork or whisk until well mixed. You can add a 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of milk or whipping cream if you like, for more creaminess.
12 medium to large eggs
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat while cutting with a spatula to break it into small pieces, until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Pour into a large bowl and set aside.
1 pound breakfast sausage
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour beaten eggs into the same skillet. Cook, stirring often until eggs are scrambled and no longer runny. Pour on top of the sausage in the bowl and stir to combine.
Heat tortillas, one at a time, in the large skillet (about 10 seconds on each side).
10-12 large flour tortillas
Immediately fill with a line of the egg/sausage mixture and sprinkle a little cheese on top. Roll up the tortillas (see photos in this post for how I roll mine) and wrap each one individually in foil, twisting or folding the ends to seal.
1 cup cheddar cheese
Serve warm and refrigerate any leftovers. To reheat, remove the burrito from the foil and wrap it in a paper towel. Microwave until heated through (about one minute in my microwave, but microwaves vary). To reheat in the oven, preheat to 350 and place the foil-wrapped tortilla directly onto the oven rack. Heat for 7-8 minutes or until heated through.
Notes
IMPORTANT INGREDIENT NOTE: You can really customize these with whatever you like. Onions, bell peppers, chicken or ground beef instead of sausage, etc. I am just showing you the basic version, which is what I make for my family. We then customize our own as we reheat them.
