How to Make Breakfast Burritos

Step 1: Cook the Sausage and Veggies

1. In a large skillet, sauté the Italian sausage over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
2. Add the chopped onion and red pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
3. Remove the sausage and vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. In the same skillet, melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked.
3. Add the diced tomatoes and the cooked sausage mixture to the eggs, stirring to combine.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

1. Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
2. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on each tortilla.
3. Divide the egg and sausage mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it on top of the cheese.
4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

Step 4: Cook the Burritos (Optional)

1. Drizzle a skillet with a small amount of oil and heat over medium heat.
2. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden and crispy, turning as needed.

Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Burritos
