Ingredients

4 servings
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ lb breakfast sausage (or chorizo)
  • 1 small bell pepper (diced)
  • ¼ cup onion (diced)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (optional)
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ¼ tsp salt

How to Make It

  1. 1

    Cook sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, sauté bell pepper and onion over medium heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Remove to the plate with the sausage.

  3. 3

    Whisk eggs with salt. Melt butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and scramble gently, folding slowly with a spatula, until just set and still slightly glossy. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas one at a time in a dry pan or over a gas flame. Layer eggs, sausage mixture, and cheese down the center of each tortilla.

  5. 5

    Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly. Toast the burrito seam-side down in the warm pan for 1–2 minutes until sealed. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
