Breakfast Burritos
Prep 10 min Cook 25 min Serves 8 Source

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage ((any flavor))
  • 2 cups baby spinach or chopped kale ((optional))
  • 1 red bell pepper, (diced)
  • 3 green onions, (diced)
  • 8 large flour tortillas ((often called "burrito-size"))
  • ½ cup chunky salsa
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, (divided)

Steps

  1. 1

    Whisk together the eggs, smoked paprika, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the bell peppers, green onions, and kale or spinach (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers have softened. Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low. In the same skillet, add the whisked eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  5. 5

    Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and set aside.

  6. 6

    Assemble the burritos: To each tortilla, add in 1/8th of the sausage, 1/8th of the scrambled eggs, 1 tablespoon of chunky salsa, and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll, tucking in the edges as you go.

  7. 7

    Heat the clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burritos, seam side down, and cook until the bottom of the burritos are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the burritos over and cook for 1 more minute until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately or cool and store in the fridge or freezer.
