Loaded Breakfast Burritos Flavorful Morning Meal
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
- 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.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of cilantro, and additional cheese if desired.
- Roll the burrito: fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom to the top, securing all fillings inside.
- 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.
- Serve warm with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
