Ingredients

6 large eggs

1/2 pound breakfast sausage

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

6 large flour tortillas

1 tablespoon butter or oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup diced onions *(optional)*

1/2 cup diced bell peppers *(optional)*

1 cup hash browns *(optional)*

Hot sauce *(optional)*

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain and set aside.

2. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Scramble in a nonstick skillet with butter until just set.

3. Lay out tortillas and add scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, and optional fillings.

4. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos.

5. Toast the burritos in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

6. Serve immediately or let cool and freeze for later.

Notes

Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.

Avoid watery veggies in freezer burritos to prevent sogginess.

Toasting adds flavor and helps seal the burrito.
