Ingredients
4 large tortillas (whole wheat or low-carb for a healthier option)
¼ cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
½ lb breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage for a leaner option)
½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
¼ cup diced onions (optional)
1 tbsp butter (for cooking eggs)
½ avocado, sliced (optional)
Salsa or hot sauce for serving
Directions
- Cook the Sausage & Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Remove from pan and set aside. If using peppers & onions, sauté them in the same pan for 2-3 minutes.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently until the eggs are fluffy and just set.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle a little cheese on the bottom. Add a scoop of scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, peppers & onions (if using), and any additional toppings like avocado.
- Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.
- Toast for Extra Crispiness (Optional): Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the burrito seam-side down for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and toast the other side.
- Serve & Enjoy: Slice in half, serve with salsa or hot sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
- ✅ Make it even higher protein by adding extra egg whites or using lean turkey sausage.
✅ Freezer-Friendly! Wrap burritos individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes or warm in a skillet.
✅ Customize It! Swap out the sausage for bacon, ham, or a plant-based alternative.
✅ For a low-carb version, use low-carb tortillas or wrap everything in a lettuce wrap instead.
