Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 pound of breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of butter
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook 1/2 pound of breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. In a bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs and pour into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
- Divide the scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese among the 4 tortillas. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll up tightly to form a burrito.
- Serve immediately, or wrap each burrito in foil and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
