Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup salsa
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your cooking workspace. Ensure the sausage is pre-cooked and crumbled.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the eggs are well-beaten and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and cook, gently stirring and folding the eggs until they are soft and scrambled but not dry, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and set aside. Keep them warm.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for about 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Place a warm tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread a portion of the scrambled eggs in the center of the tortilla.
- Top the eggs with crumbled sausage, sprinkle shredded cheese, and add a tablespoon of salsa.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Optional: For a crispy exterior, return the wrapped burrito to the skillet and toast each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Use pre-cooked sausage to cut down on preparation time and ensure food safety.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly for a light, fluffy scramble that melts in your mouth.
- Keep your tortillas warm and pliable by heating them briefly before assembling.
- Don't overfill your burrito – this can make rolling difficult and cause filling to spill out.
- For extra flavor, try using pepper jack cheese or adding a dash of hot sauce.
- If meal prepping, wrap burritos individually in foil and refrigerate. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and turkey sausage.
- Always serve immediately to enjoy the perfect temperature and texture.
