Ingredients
Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 pound of ground sausage (your choice of flavor)
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 1 cup of diced bell peppers
– 1 cup of diced onions
– 1 cup of cooked rice
– 1 cup of refried beans
– 1 teaspoon of cumin
– 1 teaspoon of chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 6 large tortillas
– Cooking spray or oil for cooking
Instructions
Now that we have all the ingredients ready, let’s move on to the cooking process. Follow these steps to make your delicious sausage and egg breakfast burritos:
1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked sausage aside.
2. Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, add a small amount of cooking spray or oil and crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness. For a fluffy omelet, scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. For a sunny-side-up look, cook them until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
3. Prepare the Fillings: In a separate skillet, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions over medium heat until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Add the cooked sausage and eggs to the skillet with the peppers and onions.
4. Season the Fillings: Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the fillings and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute or two, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a layer of cooked rice along the bottom of the tortilla. Add a generous amount of the sausage and egg mixture, followed by the shredded cheese, refried beans, and sautéed vegetables.
6. Fold and Cook: Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the fillings, then fold in the sides, and finally roll the tortilla up tightly. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
7. Cook the Burritos: In a preheated skillet or on a griddle, cook the burritos for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve: Cut the burritos in half and serve immediately. You can garnish with additional cheese, salsa, or hot sauce if desired.
Now you have your delicious sausage and egg breakfast burritos ready to enjoy! This breakfast masterpiece is perfect for a quick and easy morning meal or a hearty weekend brunch. Enjoy your homemade sausage and egg breakfast burritos and start your day off right!
