To get started, let’s gather our ingredients. For this recipe, I recommend the following:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
  • 1 cup cooked sausage (you can use either breakfast sausage links or patties, crumbled)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, or sour cream

Now that I have my ingredients ready, I will proceed with the cooking process. First, I start by cooking the sausage. If I’m using sausage links, I slice them, and if I have sausages patties, I crumble them into little pieces. I heat up the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, I add the sausage and cook it until browned and cooked through, which typically takes about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to stir occasionally for even cooking!

Once the sausage is cooked, I move it to a plate and set it aside. In the same pan, I crack the eggs and scramble them, seasoning with a little bit of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. I stir the eggs gently, allowing them to cook until they’re just set, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes. Then, I mix the cooked sausage back into the pan with the eggs and add the shredded cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted.

Now comes the fun part of assembling the burritos! I take a large flour tortilla and place a generous amount of the sausage and cheese mixture in the center. To roll them up, I fold the sides inward and then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as I go. This will create a neatly wrapped burrito that holds all of the delicious filling.

To enhance the flavors, I often choose to heat the burritos in the pan for an extra minute on each side. This helps to crisp the tortilla and create a delightful golden-brown exterior. Lastly, I serve the burritos warm, and I love to add optional toppings like salsa, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream on top for an extra flavor kick.

And there you have it, my delightful homemade savory breakfast burritos with cheese and sausage! This breakfast dish is not only satisfying but also a great way to start your day. Enjoy your culinary creation, and I hope you love it as much as I do!
