Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1/2 lb turkey sausage
- 6 eggs
Dairy
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Other
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salsa for serving
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Cook the turkey sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until it is browned completely, breaking it up as it cooks for even browning and flavor.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until blended. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the cooked sausage and scramble together until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy.
- Add cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt into the hot egg and sausage mixture for a creamy texture.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas either briefly in the microwave to soften or in a dry skillet until warm and pliable, so they are easier to roll without breaking.
- Assemble the burritos: Divide the cheesy egg and sausage mixture evenly among each tortilla, then roll them up burrito-style, tucking in edges to hold the filling.
- Serve: Plate the burritos and serve them hot with salsa and sour cream on the side to add tangy, cooling flavors that complement the richness of the burrito.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage with chicken sausage or pork sausage if preferred.
- To make it spicier, add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce inside the burrito or as a topping.
- Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a microwave or oven.
- For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat tortillas.
- Cheese can be omitted or replaced with a dairy-free alternative for dietary preferences.
