Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 8 large eggs
• ½ cup (120ml) milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup (115g) shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your favorite)
• 1 pound (450g) breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup (150g) diced bell peppers
• 1 cup (150g) diced onions

For the Burritos:

• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
2. Sauté the bell peppers and onions in the same skillet until softened. Remove and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble until fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

1. Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add scrambled eggs, sausage, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheese to the center.
2. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 4: Bake the Burritos

1. Place the burritos seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter or spray lightly with olive oil.
2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the burritos are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or your favorite hot sauce for an added burst of flavor.

Tips for Perfect Burritos

1. Add Your Favorite Fillings: Customize the burritos with ingredients like spinach, mushrooms, or black beans.
2. Freezer-Friendly: Wrap unbaked burritos individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes.
3. Extra Crispy Tortillas: Brush with butter or oil before baking for a beautifully golden, crunchy texture.
