Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 burritos
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Spread the diced bell peppers and onions evenly across the sheet pan, creating a base layer for the burritos.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables, ensuring an even distribution across the sheet pan.
- Sprinkle the crumbled cooked sausage over the eggs and vegetables.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the egg mixture cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Warm the flour tortillas briefly in the microwave to make them more pliable.
- Divide the egg, sausage, and vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas, leaving space at the edges for folding.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the egg mixture in each tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortillas inward, then roll tightly to create burritos.
- Optional: Place the rolled burritos back on the sheet pan and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to crisp the tortillas and melt the cheese.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve immediately or wrap individually for meal prep.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Cook your sausage in advance and store it in the refrigerator to speed up morning preparation.
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to swap sausage with bacon, ham, or make it vegetarian by using plant-based protein.
- Cheese Matters: Use a blend of cheeses like cheddar and monterey jack for extra flavor complexity.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: These burritos can be wrapped individually in foil and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
- Crispy Tortilla Hack: For extra crispiness, brush the outside of the rolled burritos with a little olive oil before the final bake.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for an extra flavor kick.
