Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound breakfast sausage or chorizo
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped bell pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 whole wheat tortillas (large size)
- Optional: salsa, sour cream for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned. Remove sausage and set aside, leaving grease in the skillet.
- Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Return sausage to the skillet. Pour egg mixture over the sausage and vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set.
- Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted.
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
- Spoon an equal amount of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
- Wrap each breakfast burrito individually in plastic wrap or foil.
- Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, remove wrapping and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
Notes
- For healthier make-ahead breakfast burritos, use lean turkey sausage or plant-based sausage.
- Add black beans or corn for extra fiber and flavor.
- Consider adding diced potatoes or sweet potatoes for a more filling burrito.
- Ensure burritos are completely cooled before wrapping and freezing to prevent ice crystals.
