Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure the sausage is pre-cooked and crumbled.
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk thoroughly with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled sausage, warming it for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sausage and gently stir with a spatula, cooking slowly and continuously to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Cook the egg and sausage mixture for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Place a warm tortilla on a clean work surface and sprinkle shredded cheese in the center.
- Spoon the scrambled egg and sausage mixture onto the cheese-covered tortilla.
- Add a dollop of salsa on top of the eggs.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Optional: Place the burrito seam-side down in a hot skillet to lightly crisp the exterior, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the fluffiest scramble possible. Room temperature eggs mix more smoothly and create a creamier texture.
- Cook your eggs slowly and gently - the key to perfect scrambled eggs is low and slow heat to prevent overcooking and maintain a soft, creamy consistency.
- Pre-cook your sausage thoroughly and drain any excess grease to keep your burrito from becoming soggy.
- Warm your tortillas just before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
- For an extra crispy exterior, lightly toast the burrito in a skillet after rolling - this adds a delightful crunch and helps seal the burrito.
- Experiment with different types of cheese and salsa to customize your burrito to your taste preferences.
- If preparing multiple burritos, keep finished burritos warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing the rest to ensure everyone gets a hot meal.
