Servings: 8 burritos
Course: Breakfast, Dinner
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper (any color)
  • 0.5 large or 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 16 ounces seasoned ground chicken sausage Italian or breakfast
For the Eggs and Assembly
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil
  • 10 large eggs whisked
  • 8 burrito size flour tortillas 10 inch
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat the avocado or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and diced onion. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic powder and chili powder. Add the ground chicken sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is fully browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Wipe out the skillet if needed, then add the butter or oil and melt it over medium-low heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Cook slowly, gently pushing the cooked edges toward the center, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
  4. Return the cooked sausage mixture to the skillet with the eggs. Stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions. Place a portion of the egg and sausage mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito. Serve immediately, or wrap individually for make-ahead meals.

Notes

For make-ahead convenience, assemble the burritos completely, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat frozen burritos in the microwave or oven until heated through.
