Start your day with a burst of flavor! This hearty sausage and cheese burrito is a delightful combination of savory sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, this dish is not only filling but also incredibly satisfying. It’s a classic breakfast burrito that pays homage to the Tex-Mex cuisine, a fusion of flavors that originated in the southwestern United States. Serve it with fresh avocado and zesty salsa for an extra kick!

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Avocado
1, sliced
Salsa
1 cup (store-bought or homemade)
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Onion
1 small, diced
Bell peppers
1 cup, diced (mix of red and green)
Cheddar cheese
1 cup, shredded
Flour tortillas
4 (10-inch)
Eggs
6, large
Sausage
1 pound, breakfast sausage (or your choice of sausage)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet, drain excess fat, and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the bell peppers and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your liking, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave until pliable, about 20 seconds in the microwave.
  5. To assemble, place a tortilla on a plate, layer with cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Serve the sausage and cheese burritos warm, accompanied by sliced avocado and salsa on the side.
