Ingredients
1 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Optional: salsa, sour cream, hot sauce for serving
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet (or add butter if needed). Reduce heat to medium. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until just set but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the eggs and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds or in a dry skillet until pliable.
Divide the sausage-egg mixture among the tortillas, placing it in the center. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
If desired, heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the burritos seam-side down for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce if desired.
Tips
For a spicier burrito, use hot breakfast sausage or add a pinch of cayenne to the eggs.
To make ahead, wrap each burrito in foil and refrigerate. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
You can substitute turkey or plant-based sausage for a lighter option.
