Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small onion
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 0.25 cup cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat.

Step 6

Dice the red bell pepper and onion into small, uniform pieces.

Step 7

Add the diced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet and saute until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the pepper and onion mixture.

Step 9

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sausage and vegetables.

Step 10

Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the egg mixture from the heat and set aside.

Step 12

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 13

Lay a warm tortilla flat and spoon about 1/6th of the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture onto the center.

Step 14

Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.

Step 15

Top with a couple of tablespoons of salsa and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 16

Fold each side of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a burrito shape.

Step 17

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 18

Serve the burritos immediately, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
