Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (pork or turkey)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Assembly
- 6 large flour tortillas
- Sour cream or salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large sheet pan with cooking spray or a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheese, chopped bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder until well combined.
- Bake Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan, spreading it out to fill the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through without being dry.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the baked egg mixture cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, use a spatula or knife to cut the egg into 6 equal portions that will fit into the tortillas.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side, or until warm and pliable, or wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Assemble Burritos: Place one portion of the baked egg mixture onto each tortilla. Add extra cheese, salsa, or sour cream if desired. Fold in the sides and tightly roll the tortillas to form burritos.
- Serve: Serve immediately for a warm breakfast or wrap the burritos individually in foil to refrigerate or freeze for later use.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or plant-based sausage for a leaner or vegetarian option.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.
- These burritos can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Reheat frozen burritos wrapped in foil at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or microwave until heated through.
