Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or cooked bacon or black beans for meat-free)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 6 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup salsa (mild or medium)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Optional: chopped cilantro
  • Optional add-ins: diced avocado (add after warming), hot sauce, chopped jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers and sauté for about 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add sausage now to warm through if using.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet with veggies and scramble gently until just cooked through but still soft, about 2–3 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep eggs fluffy.
  3. Transfer the cooked egg and veggie mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely to prevent soggy tortillas.
  4. Lay out one large flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of salsa evenly over the tortilla.
  5. Spoon roughly 1/3 cup of the cooled egg mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and optional cilantro.
  6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling securely. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Wrap each burrito tightly in parchment paper or foil. Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container, squeezing out as much air as possible. Label with date. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  8. To reheat, unwrap the burrito and microwave on high for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway through, or bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 20–25 minutes until heated through. Add fresh avocado or hot sauce after heating if desired.

Notes

Cool the filling completely before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas. Use sturdy burrito-sized flour tortillas for best results. Don’t overfill burritos to avoid bursting. Wrap tightly and store in freezer-safe bags to prevent freezer burn. Reheat by microwave or oven; baking gives a crispier tortilla. Optional add-ins like avocado or hot sauce can be added after reheating.
