Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded pepper jack cheese (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) finely chopped onion
  • 6–8 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) salsa
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell peppers, sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add cooked sausage or bacon pieces to the skillet and warm through for 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk until blended.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the same skillet over medium-low heat. Stir gently and continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula, cooking until eggs are softly set but still moist. Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a dry skillet to make them pliable.
  6. Spoon scrambled eggs onto the center of each tortilla, followed by the sausage-veggie mixture.
  7. Sprinkle with a blend of cheddar and pepper jack cheese (2-3 tablespoons per burrito). Add a spoonful of salsa if desired.
  8. Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a secure burrito.
  9. Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  10. Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
  11. To reheat, unwrap burrito and microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, reheat wrapped in foil in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Cook eggs low and slow to keep them creamy and soft. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Fold burritos tightly to avoid filling falling out. For reheating, flipping halfway in microwave prevents drying. Add salsa or olive oil after reheating to restore moisture. Burritos freeze well up to 3 months. For gluten-free, use corn or gluten-free tortillas. For vegetarian, replace sausage with mushrooms or beans.
