A quick and easy breakfast burrito featuring crispy sausage and buttery, fluffy scrambled eggs wrapped in a warm tortilla. Perfect for busy mornings, brunch, or a comforting meal any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb (225g) breakfast sausage, preferably pork
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or whole milk
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 large flour tortillas (about 10 inches diameter), warmed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Salsa or hot sauce, optional for serving
  • Optional extras: diced onions, chopped bell peppers, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and crispy on the edges. Drain excess fat if needed. Set sausage aside on a paper towel-lined plate to keep it crispy.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the 6 large eggs with 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Wipe out the skillet and melt 1 tablespoon of butter over low to medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Let sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue slowly stirring and folding until the eggs are mostly set but still a bit creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
  4. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm them individually in a dry skillet for 15 seconds each side to make them pliable.
  5. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon an even layer of scrambled eggs onto the center, followed by a generous portion of crispy sausage. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and optional extras like diced onions or cilantro.
  6. Fold one edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and continue rolling to close the burrito tightly. Melt remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat and place the burrito seam side down. Cook about 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  7. Slice in half if desired and serve warm with salsa or hot sauce on the side.

Notes

Cook eggs on low heat and stir gently to keep them fluffy and soft. Avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking sausage to ensure crispiness. Use room temperature eggs for better fluffiness. For gluten-free, swap flour tortillas for corn or gluten-free wraps. For dairy-free, use coconut cream or almond milk and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
