Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large flour tortillas, 6 large eggs, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup cooked sausage (crumbled), 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, 1/4 cup chopped onions, salt, pepper, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and diced bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, add the crumbled sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sausage is heated through.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Stir gently to scramble the eggs, cooking until they are just set but still slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until it is melted and evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until they are pliable.
- To assemble the burritos, place a generous portion of the egg and sausage mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is securely wrapped inside.
- Once all burritos are assembled, you can either serve them immediately or place them seam-side down in the skillet to lightly toast them for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Garnish the burritos with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Joint Chiefs Morning Burritos!
Tips
- Prep Like a Pro: Have all ingredients chopped and ready before you start cooking to ensure a smooth, efficient preparation.
- Cheese Melting Hack: Let your cheese sit at room temperature for a few minutes before adding it to the eggs for smoother, more even melting.
- Tortilla Technique: Warm tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to swap sausage with bacon, ham, or even vegetarian protein options to suit your taste.
- Make-Ahead Magic: You can prepare these burritos in advance and wrap them individually in foil. They reheat perfectly in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast during busy mornings.
- Spice it Up: Add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you want to bring some extra heat to your morning mission.
