Breakfast Burrito with Sausage, Eggs & Cheese Recipe

Mornings used to feel like a scramble — literally. I’d run around trying to find something filling for the kids before school, but everything was either too sugary or not enough to keep us full. These breakfast burritos changed that. I make a batch on Sunday and wrap them up for the week. They’re loaded with protein, reheat like a dream, and taste like a cozy diner breakfast wrapped in a tortilla.
Ingredients:
-
4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
-
6 large eggs
-
1/4 cup milk
-
1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
-
1/2 lb breakfast sausage
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
Optional: salsa, hot sauce, green onions, or diced bell peppers
Instructions:
-
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
-
Whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. In the same skillet, melt butter and scramble the eggs gently until soft and fluffy.
-
Warm tortillas in the microwave or a skillet to make them more flexible.
-
Assemble: Layer each tortilla with scrambled eggs, sausage, and shredded cheese. Add optional toppings if using.
-
Roll tightly: Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom to secure the filling.
-
Serve warm, or wrap in foil and refrigerate (up to 4 days) or freeze for later.
Tips from Sarah’s Kitchen:
-
To reheat from frozen: microwave for 2–3 minutes, or bake at 375°F for 25 minutes wrapped in foil.
-
Add sautéed veggies for extra flavor and nutrition.
-
Swap sausage with bacon, turkey sausage, or plant-based crumbles.
-
Great with a little dollop of sour cream or guac on the side.
