Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Dairy
- 1/2 lb turkey sausage
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Other
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salsa for serving
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Turkey Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the turkey sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
- Scramble the Eggs with Sausage: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked turkey sausage. Stir frequently, scrambling the eggs until they are fully cooked and no longer runny.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese into the eggs.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas either in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or in a dry skillet for about 15 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Divide the cheesy scrambled egg and sausage mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla up burrito-style, folding in the sides as you go.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast burritos with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping or topping according to your preference.
Notes
- You can substitute the turkey sausage with chicken sausage or vegetarian sausage if preferred.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas instead of flour tortillas.
- Add extra fillings like sautéed peppers, onions, or avocado slices for more flavor and texture.
- To make it dairy-free, omit the cheese and use a plant-based alternative or skip entirely.
- Make sure not to overcook the eggs to keep the burrito moist and creamy.
