These easy make-ahead breakfast burritos combine fluffy eggs, savory sausage, melty cheese, and warm tortillas for a quick, filling, and delicious breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 12 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or butter (to warm tortillas)
  • Optional extras: salsa, avocado slices, hot sauce, or sour cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat skillet over medium heat and add breakfast sausage. Break it up and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
  2. Sauté the veggies: Add diced onions and bell peppers to the pan with sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened but still vibrant. Remove mixture from pan and set aside.
  3. Scramble the eggs: In a large bowl, whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until blended. Spray skillet with non-stick spray or melt butter over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and gently scramble until just set but still moist, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Combine filling: Fold cooked sausage and veggies into scrambled eggs. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese to melt slightly.
  5. Warm tortillas: Lightly spray or butter a clean skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble burritos: Lay warm tortilla flat and spoon about 3/4 cup of filling down center. Fold sides over and roll tightly from bottom up. Place seam-side down on lined baking sheet.
  7. Cool and wrap: Let burritos cool to room temperature (about 15 minutes). Wrap each tightly in foil or parchment paper.
  8. Store or freeze: Refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze in freezer-safe bag up to 3 months.

Notes

Do not overcook eggs; remove while still slightly moist. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Drain excess grease from sausage to avoid greasy burritos. Use a silicone spatula for fluffier eggs. Prep ingredients ahead for faster assembly. Keep filling amounts consistent to avoid bursting burritos.
