Instructions
Prepare the eggs
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and just set.
Pro tip: Keep the heat moderate to avoid overcooking the eggs.
Cook the vegetables
In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Pro tip: Use a variety of coloured bell peppers for a vibrant burrito.
Assemble the burritos
Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of scrambled eggs, bell peppers, tomatoes, and sausage onto the centre of the tortilla.
Pro tip: Warm tortillas are more pliable and easier to roll.
Add cheese
Sprinkle each burrito with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Pro tip: For a spicier burrito, use pepper jack cheese instead.
Roll the burrito
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Pro tip: Wrap tightly to prevent the filling from falling out.
Serve
Serve immediately with salsa or sour cream on the side.
Pro tip: For extra flavour, add a dash of hot sauce before rolling the burrito.
Tips & Tricks
- Warm your tortillas for easier rolling.
