Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: Serves 6
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 6 large tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until fully browned and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and bell peppers until they become soft and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with vegetables and scramble gently, cooking until eggs are just set but still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Lay out each tortilla and divide the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture evenly among them, leaving space at the edges for folding.
- Top each tortilla with cooked sausage and sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly into a burrito shape.
- Place the rolled burritos seam-side down on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a small space between each burrito.
- Optional: Brush the tops of the burritos with a light coating of olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce on the side.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: You can cook the sausage, vegetables, and scramble the eggs the night before to save time in the morning.
- Cheese Matters: Use a blend of cheeses like cheddar and monterey jack for extra flavor complexity.
- Tortilla Tips: Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking and make them more pliable.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to swap sausage for bacon, ham, or make it vegetarian with black beans.
- Storage Hack: These burritos freeze beautifully! Wrap individually in foil and reheat in the oven for a quick future breakfast.
- Crispy Finish: Brushing with olive oil before baking ensures a golden, crisp exterior that adds amazing texture.
- Don't Overfill: Leave some space at the edges of your tortilla when rolling to prevent filling from spilling out during baking.
