Hey there! Today I am going to tell you how I make my yummy breakfast burritos. They are my favorite! If I ever eat breakfast at McDonalds, I always order a breakfast burrito. One night, while dreaming, I came up with this super easy and delicious recipe from scratch. We eat them for dinner a lot. Enjoy!
Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground sausage
1 onion
1 pepper (any color)
olive oil
6 scrambled eggs
2 TB flour
2 TB butter
2 cups milk
2 cups cheddar cheese
s&p
10 tortillas
hot sauce, optional
To Make:
1. Chop onions, sautee in olive oil. Chop peppers, add to onions, sautee. Set aside in bowl.
2. Brown sausage. Drain. Add to bowl.
3. Make scrambled eggs (use about 6 eggs + milk + s&p). Add to bowl.
4. Make cheese sauce: In saucepan, melt 2 TB butter. Add 2 TB flour. Whisk together. Let bubble for 1 minute (this is a roux). Now, slowly add milk, stirring with a whisk at every half cup, until its mixed into the roux. Add salt and pepper. Allow this to simmer and bubble for 2 minutes. It should be nice and saucey and thick. Remove from heat and add cheese, heat through.
5. Prepare tortillas. I am obsessed with Costco’s unbaked tortillas.
6. Assemble. On a tortilla, layer your veggie-sausage-egg mixture. Top with cheese sauce. Roll up and enjoy!
ps- I try to multi-task the above steps. If you have a big enough stove, and enough helpers, these can be whipped out in ten minutes!
Here’s a few pictures of the process-
Veggie and Sausage Mixture. Then you would add the scrambled eggs and set aside in a bowl.

This is a roux. (I made it in the same pan that I used to sautee the veggies). I’ve melted butter and added flour. From here, you add the milk and s&p, whisk well, let simmer, remove from heat, and add cheese.
