Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1/2 pound ground beef
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Cook Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage and ground beef together, using a spoon to break the meat apart into crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set the cooked meat aside.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Sauté Vegetables: Using the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing them for about 3 to 4 minutes until they become softened and fragrant.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently stir the eggs continuously, cooking until they are scrambled and just set but still moist.
- Combine Meat and Eggs: Return the cooked sausage and beef to the skillet with the eggs and vegetables. Stir everything together evenly to combine all flavors.
- Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts thoroughly into the scrambled mixture.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas slightly, either in a dry skillet or microwave, until they become pliable and easy to roll.
- Assemble Burritos: Divide the sausage and egg scramble evenly among the warmed tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito.
- Optional Toasting: For an added crispy exterior, toast the wrapped burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
- Serve: Serve the burritos immediately with salsa or hot sauce on the side, if desired.
Notes
- You can prepare the scramble filling in advance and reheat it before assembling the burritos for a quick meal.
- Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack to give the burritos a spicy kick.
- Try adding diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or avocado for extra fresh flavor and texture.
