Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sautéed Filling
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or diced ham
Assembly
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Optional: 1/4 cup sour cream
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to create a smooth egg mixture ready for cooking.
- Sauté Vegetables and Meat: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened and fragrant. Stir in the cooked sausage or diced ham and heat through evenly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed ingredients. Cook gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set, creating a fluffy filling.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the warm egg mixture, enriching the flavor and texture.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they become pliable and easy to roll without cracking.
- Assemble the Burritos: Evenly divide the egg and cheese mixture among the warmed tortillas, spooning it into the center of each. Add salsa on top, along with optional sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
- Roll Up and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll them up tightly into burritos. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

- You can substitute bacon for sausage or use a plant-based protein for a vegetarian version.
- These burritos can be wrapped and frozen for quick breakfasts; simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to adjust for dietary needs.
