Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Eggs: Use large eggs for fluffiness; scramble them well before adding to the filling.
- Cheddar Cheese: Shred fresh cheese for better melting; it adds a lovely creaminess.
- Bell Peppers: Colorful bell peppers add crunch; use red or green based on your preference.
- Sausage or Bacon: Choose cooked sausage or crispy bacon for extra flavor; I prefer spicy sausage for a kick.
- Tortillas: Large flour tortillas hold everything together nicely; make sure they’re pliable before filling.
- Seasonings: Salt and pepper enhance flavors; feel free to experiment with spices like cumin or paprika.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by chopping bell peppers and cooking sausage if using raw. Set aside while you scramble the eggs. The aroma will make you hungry.
Scramble the Eggs: In a large skillet over medium heat, whisk eggs with salt and pepper until fluffy. Cook until just set but still creamy—about 3-4 minutes works wonders.
Add Fillings: Toss in cooked sausage (or bacon) and diced bell peppers into the scrambled eggs. Stir gently until heated through and vibrant colors shine through.
Assemble Your Burritos: Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla’s center. Sprinkle cheese generously on top because cheese always wins.
Wrap It Up Tight: Fold in the sides of each tortilla over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom up. Secure them with foil or parchment paper if needed—think of it as wrapping up happiness.
Freeze Your Masterpieces: Place wrapped burritos in a single layer in the freezer. Once frozen solid (about 1-2 hours), transfer them to a ziplock bag to save space—now you’re ready for future breakfasts!
Enjoy these flavorful bites any time of day—they’re not just for breakfast anymore!
