Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (removed from casings)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 10 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet with the sausage and continue cooking until the vegetables are soft and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir everything together. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla in over the filling, then roll the burrito up from the bottom to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a large resealable plastic bag. Label and date the bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, remove the burrito from the plastic wrap and wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat the burrito in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
