Description

Learn how to make an Upgraded Breakfast Burrito filled with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, cheese, and fresh avocado. This recipe elevates the classic breakfast burrito with simple yet flavorful additions.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 12 ounces breakfast sausage
  • 10 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Salsa, for serving
  • Hot sauce, for serving

Instructions

1. Cook the Veggies: Building a Flavorful Foundation

  1. Heat Oil: Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.

2. Brown the Sausage: Adding Savory Depth

  1. Add Sausage: Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet with the softened vegetables.
  2. Cook and Crumble: Cook the sausage until it’s fully browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5 minutes. Make sure there are no large clumps of sausage remaining.

3. Scramble the Eggs: Creating a Fluffy Component

  1. Beat Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the 10 large eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Pour into Skillet: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the cooked sausage and vegetables.
  3. Stir Occasionally: Stir the mixture occasionally as the eggs cook, ensuring they are cooked through but still moist.
  4. Season: Season the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Add the Cheese: Incorporating Creamy Goodness

  1. Remove from Heat: Once the eggs are fully cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.
  2. Stir in Cheese: Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until it’s melted and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5. Warm the Tortillas: Enhancing Pliability

  1. Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas either in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or in the microwave.
    • Microwave Method: If using a microwave, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat for about 20 seconds to keep them soft and pliable.

6. Assemble the Burritos: Creating Delicious Packages

  1. Lay Out Tortillas: Place the warmed tortillas on a clean, flat surface.
  2. Spoon in Filling: Spoon a generous amount of the egg, sausage, and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  3. Top with Avocado: Top the filling with diced avocado for a creamy finish.
  4. Add Extras: Feel free to add any other toppings you enjoy at this stage, such as a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a dash of your favorite hot sauce.

7. Roll and Serve: Final Steps to Burrito Bliss

  1. Fold and Roll: To roll each tortilla into a burrito, first fold in the two opposite sides of the tortilla towards the center, over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom edge closest to you, roll the tortilla up tightly, tucking in the filling as you go.
    • Tip: You can use a toothpick to help keep the burrito closed if needed.
  2. Serve Immediately: Serve the Upgraded Breakfast Burritos immediately with salsa and hot sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
