Description

Hearty breakfast burritos packed with eggs, sausage, and fresh veggies to fuel your day.


Ingredients

  • ½ lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 12 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed (optional)
  • 6 large tortillas (such as Siete grain-free tortillas)
  • 6-8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • To serve: green onions, cilantro, chipotle mayo, pico de gallo, or avocado


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces, and cook until no pink remains. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and add the diced poblano pepper, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom starts to set.
  4. Add the cubed cream cheese and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are just barely cooked. Remove from heat.
  5. Warm each tortilla in the microwave for about 20 seconds or char over an open flame until pliable.
  6. On each tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese, followed by the black beans, egg mixture, and cooked sausage.
  7. Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it forward to enclose the filling. Wrap in foil.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
  9. For freezer breakfast burritos, wrap each in foil before baking, store them in a freezer bag. Bake from frozen for 20 minutes or microwave for 2 minutes after removing from foil.

Notes

Customize your burrito by adding more veggies or using different proteins. For freezing, wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn.
