Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size, soft and flexible)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a cheese blend)
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon.
- Cook until the sausage is browned and no longer pink, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Once fully cooked, transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Prepare the Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- If you’re adding diced vegetables like bell peppers or green onions, you can mix them directly into the egg mixture now.
- Wipe the skillet clean or use a separate pan.
- Melt butter or heat oil in the skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Gently stir the eggs as they cook, creating soft, fluffy curds.
- When the eggs are almost set but still slightly moist, remove from heat.
- Assemble the Wraps:
- Warm the tortillas for easier folding. You can microwave them for 15-20 seconds or heat briefly in a dry skillet.
- Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese in the center of the tortilla.
- Top with a portion of the scrambled eggs and sausage mixture.
- Add any additional toppings of your choice.
- Fold and (Optional) Toast:
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling.
- Fold in the sides toward the center.
- Roll the tortilla up from the bottom to form a tight wrap.
- For extra crispiness (optional), place the wrap seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted and sealed.
Notes
Pro Tips:
- Don’t overcook your eggs – remove them from heat when still slightly moist.
- Warm your tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
- Use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-packaged for better melting and flavor.
- Double up on cheese by adding some to the eggs while cooking and more when assembling.
- For meal prep, let ingredients cool completely before assembling to prevent sogginess.
Storage Instructions:
- Refrigerate wrapped in parchment paper for up to 3 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped in foil for up to 1 month.
- To reheat: microwave for 1-1.5 minutes or air fry at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
