Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Dairy
- 1/2 lb turkey sausage
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Other Ingredients
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salsa for serving
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Cook the Turkey Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage, breaking it up as it browns, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour this egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir continuously over medium heat until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled through.
- Incorporate Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts evenly throughout the egg and sausage mixture.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas either by microwaving them for about 15-20 seconds or heating briefly in a dry skillet over low heat until pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Divide the cheesy egg and sausage scramble evenly among the tortillas. Roll each tortilla up tightly into a burrito shape, folding in the sides as you go.
- Serve: Plate the burritos and serve immediately with salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping or topping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage with chicken or pork sausage if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Use whole wheat tortillas to increase fiber content for a healthier option.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet or microwave for best taste and texture.
- Customize your burrito by adding vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra nutrients.
