A satisfying burrito filled with savory sausage, eggs, cheese, and fresh vegetables in a warm tortilla.

# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 7 ounces breakfast sausage (pork or turkey), casings removed

→ Eggs & Dairy

02 - 6 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup whole milk
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

→ Vegetables

07 - 1 small red bell pepper, diced
08 - 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
09 - 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach, chopped (optional)

→ Tortillas

10 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

→ Extras

11 - Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
12 - Sour cream (optional)
13 - Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking it up, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add diced bell pepper and chopped red onion. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in chopped spinach if using and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove vegetables to the plate with sausage.
03 - Whisk together eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until combined.
04 - Pour egg mixture into the skillet over medium-low heat. Stir gently until eggs are just set and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
05 - Warm tortillas in a microwave or in a dry skillet for 20 to 30 seconds until pliable.
06 - Divide sausage, sautéed vegetables, and scrambled eggs evenly among tortillas. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
08 - Place burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly browned for a crispier texture.
09 - Serve warm with optional salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
