Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sausage

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Assembly

  • 12 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Use a spatula to crumble the sausage as it cooks. Once done, drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.
  2. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring frequently until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy.
  4. Combine eggs and sausage: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese until the cheese begins to melt slightly and the ingredients are well mixed.
  5. Warm the tortillas: To make rolling easier, warm each flour tortilla briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon an equal portion of the egg, sausage, and cheese mixture down the center. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Freeze or serve: To freeze, wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap and place into a freezer-safe container. To reheat, microwave or oven-bake the burrito until heated through. Enjoy immediately if serving fresh.

Notes

  • Make sure to cook the sausage thoroughly to ensure food safety.
  • To prevent tortillas from tearing, warm them before assembling.
  • Customize your burritos with additional fillings like salsa, avocado, or peppers if desired.
  • Burritos can be frozen for up to 3 months for best quality.
  • Reheat frozen burritos in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through for even heating.
