Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice new addition to brighten the flavor
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika new addition for a subtle smokiness
  • 12 large eggs
  • cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
  • ½ red onion finely diced
  • 1 ripe tomato diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 3.5 ounce can of diced jalapeños (optional, for heat)
  • 1 1 ounce packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 20 6-inch flour tortillas

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Before cooking, it’s essential to gather all your ingredients. This step saves you time and ensures you don’t miss anything. Lay everything out on a clean surface.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, lime juice, sea salt, and smoked paprika. Whisk the mixture until it’s fully blended, creating a smooth consistency. Setting this aside helps flavors meld together.

Step 3: Cook the Sausage

  • In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the ground sausage. Cook it until brown and crumbly, stirring regularly, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Vegetables

  • Once your sausage is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic, diced red onion, and fresh tomatoes. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onions soften.

Step 5: Combine Eggs and Cheese

  • Now, pour your egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage and veggie mix. Stir gently, allowing the eggs to cook slowly. When they begin to set, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese. Keep stirring until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy.

Step 6: Assemble the Burrito

  • On a clean, flat tortilla, place a generous portion of your egg and sausage mixture in the center. If you’re using jalapeños or cilantro, now’s the time to sprinkle those in. Fold the tortilla tightly around the filling to create your burrito.

Step 7: Repeat and Serve

  • Repeat this assembly process for the remaining tortillas and filling. You can either serve these immediately or store them for breakfast throughout the week. Either way, you’ll have a scrumptious burrito ready to go!

Notes

  • Avoid Overcooking Eggs: Keep the heat moderate. Overcooked eggs can become rubbery. Remove from heat just when they’re set.
  • Personalize It: Experiment with different cheeses, like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • Warm Your Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a skillet for a few seconds before assembling. It makes them easier to bend.
  • Batch Cook: Make a large batch of the filling and freeze portions for quick breakfasts later.
  • Add Beans: Consider adding black beans for extra fiber and protein.
