# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 8 large flour tortillas (25 cm)
02 - 12 large eggs
03 - 454 g breakfast sausage
04 - 200 g shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1 large red bell pepper, diced
06 - 1 medium onion, diced
07 - 2 tablespoons (28 g) butter or olive oil
08 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
10 - 60 ml milk
11 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Optional Toppings

12 - Salsa
13 - Sour cream
14 - Avocado
15 - Hot sauce

# Steps:

01 - Dice onion and red bell pepper. Crack eggs into a large bowl, add 60 ml milk, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth.
02 - Gently warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable to prevent tearing during rolling.
03 - Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage until browned and crumbled, about 8–10 minutes. Remove sausage, reserving some drippings in the pan.
04 - Add butter or olive oil to the same pan. Sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5–6 minutes.
05 - Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
06 - Pour beaten eggs into pan. Cook, stirring gently, over medium heat until eggs are just set but slightly glossy.
07 - Return cooked sausage to pan with eggs and vegetables. Sprinkle in taco seasoning and mix well. Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar cheese.
08 - Place one tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 175 g of filling slightly below center. Fold the bottom edge over filling, tuck in sides, and roll tightly upwards to seal.
09 - Wrap each burrito in parchment paper if planning to freeze. Let cool before freezing to maintain texture.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Allow filling to cool before wrapping to avoid soggy tortillas.
02 - Warming tortillas enhances flexibility and eases rolling.
03 - Avoid overfilling to ensure proper sealing and prevent spillage.
04 - For best results, thaw frozen burritos overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
