Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large tortillas
- 12 large eggs
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- 12 sheets foil sheets or parchment paper
- 1 pack resealable freezer bags
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil or butter and sauté the diced bell pepper and onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are fully scrambled and set. Remove from heat.
Gently stir the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables into the scrambled eggs to combine.
Lay out the tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, spooning it into the center of each one.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture in each tortilla.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll it up tightly into a burrito.
Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper, ensuring they are completely covered.
Place the wrapped burritos into resealable freezer bags, removing as much air as possible before sealing.
Label the freezer bags with the date and store the burritos in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, remove a burrito from the freezer, unwrap it, and microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes if wrapped in foil.
