Breakfast Ingredients

  • 16 units eggs
  • 1 lb pork sausage
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 3 oz
  • 8 units flour tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Shred the cheese and set aside to come up to room temperature. Crack all of the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until all of the yolks are broken and set aside.
  • Heat skillet to medium and add olive oil. Add sausage and crumble and break it up as it cooks. Stir and saute until fully cooked breaking it up as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Remove all except about 1 - 2 teaspoons of sausage grease from the pan. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the whisked eggs to the skillet. Wait 10 seconds and then add the salt and pepper and cheese on top. Use a spatula/turner and slowly move eggs around the edge of the pan toward the center and repeat moving the eggs towards the center rotating with the uncooked eggs. Repeat until all of the eggs are soft scrambled.
  • To make the flour tortillas more pliable, add them all to a microwave safe plate and place a damp paper towel half after every 2nd tortilla. Microwave for 20 seconds.
  • Gather sausage, eggs, and tortillas. Lay out one tortilla and add a heaping ½ cup of scrambled eggs to just below the center of the tortilla and then top with ⅓ cup of cooked sausage.
  • Roll the burrito by folding in the outside edges of the tortilla to the center and then while keeping those edges in, fold up the bottom of the tortilla and tightly wrap it under the sausage and eggs.
  • For an extra delicious crisp and crunch, add the burrito to a greased pan on the stovetop on low. Cook on low to brown the outside and turn to brown all of the edges.

Notes

Store in the fridge individually wrapped in plastic or foil for up to 3 days. Wrap tightly individually in plastic wrap or flash freeze to store all in one freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. These burritos are perfect for camping and can be reheated over a campfire or stovetop.
