Breakfast burrito filling Recipe

Mexican-American · Main course · 25 min total

A hearty and flavorful scrambled egg and sausage filling, perfect for breakfast burritos. This recipe is quick, customizable, and ideal for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, then add onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then begin gently stirring with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides. Continue cooking until eggs are just set but still soft and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle cheese over the top and let it melt slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
6. Spoon the filling into warm flour tortillas, add desired toppings like salsa or sour cream, and roll into burritos.

Tips

• Customize with black beans, diced potatoes, or jalapeños.
• Leftover filling can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet.
• For a lighter version, use turkey sausage and reduce cheese.
