I love breakfast burritos, particularly because I can take whatever ingredients I have on hand, throw them in a skillet, then pile 'em into a burrito and I'm done. These burritos took about thirty minutes to cook and assemble, which makes them the perfect go-to breakfast dish when time is an issue. I used regular flour tortillas so the burritos are a bit on the smaller size and hard to close up all the way. If you want to make BIG burritos you can use extra large tortillas, available at most grocery stores.
Serves 4
The ingredient list:
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup of turkey sausage (if not using ground, coarsely chopped)
- 1 tomato (diced)
- 1 onion (diced)
- 1/4 cup of cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 jalapeno (diced)
- 1/2 cup of green bell pepper (chopped)
- 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack Cheese (grated)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- prepared or store bought salsa (for topping)
Begin by dicing your onion and peppers.
Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat, add in half of the onions, all of the pepper and half of the jalapeno. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until soft.
Meanwhile chop up 1 cup of sausage.
Add in the sausage and cook for another 2 minutes.
Beat 5 eggs in a mixing bowl, then add the eggs to the skillet.
Cook until the eggs are done, adding salt and pepper to taste.
In a small bowl combine the tomato, remaining onion, jalapeno and cilantro. Add salt to taste and set aside.
Warm up your tortillas in a pan.
To assemble, lay out one tortilla and add about 3 tablespoons of egg mixture.
Sprinkle on some cheese. The egg mixture is hot, so it should melt the cheese pretty easily making an ooey gooey filling to bite into.
Add on a teaspoon of the fresh tomato salsa.
And finally add a teaspoon of pre-made salsa. Roll up your burritos and enjoy, this dish is so simple and versatile, yummy!
