Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 8 large eggs
• ½ cup (120ml) milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup (115g) shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese
• 1 pound (450g) cooked sausage, bacon, or plant-based alternative
• 1 cup (150g) diced bell peppers
• 1 cup (150g) diced onions

For the Tortillas:

• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or cooking spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any grease and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the onions and bell peppers until soft. Remove and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble until fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

1. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Add scrambled eggs, sausage, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese to the center.
2. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 4: Bake the Burritos

1. Place the burritos seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter or spray lightly with cooking spray.
2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or hot sauce for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Burritos

1. Customize the Filling: Swap sausage for bacon, chorizo, or tofu, and add your favorite veggies like spinach or mushrooms.
2. Make Ahead and Freeze: Wrap unbaked burritos in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
3. Get Extra Crispy: For a crunchier texture, lightly brush the tortillas with butter or olive oil before baking.
