Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or soy chorizo for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
  • 0.5 cup diced onion
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for serving salsa or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil, then sauté the diced onion and bell peppers until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked veggies. Stir gently as the eggs begin to set, adding in the crumbled sausage once the eggs are halfway cooked.
  4. Cook the mixture until the eggs are fully cooked through but still soft and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheese until melted.
  5. To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the egg and sausage mixture into the center of each tortilla.
  6. Top with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, and additional cheese if desired.
  7. Roll the burrito: fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom to the top, securing all fillings inside.
  8. Optionally, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  9. Serve warm with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
