Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by cracking eggs into a medium mixing bowl, whisking them until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the whisked eggs with salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution of seasoning.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled sausage. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sausage is heated through and slightly crispy.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sausage, stirring gently and continuously to create soft scrambled eggs.
- Cook the egg and sausage mixture for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Place a warm tortilla on a clean work surface and spread a generous spoonful of salsa in the center.
- Divide the scrambled egg and sausage mixture evenly among the tortillas.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up to create a tight burrito.
- Optional: Return the wrapped burritos to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side to create a golden, crispy exterior.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately with additional salsa or your favorite hot sauce.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor profile.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to create light and fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Cook sausage until it's slightly crispy for added texture.
- Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking.
- Don't overfill your burritos - this can make them difficult to roll.
- For extra crispiness, lightly toast the assembled burritos in a skillet.
- Experiment with different cheeses and proteins to customize your burrito.
- Prepare ingredients in advance for quick weekday morning assembly.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect melted cheese and warm tortilla texture.
- Have extra salsa or hot sauce on hand for those who like an extra kick!
