Ingredients

• 12 pieces large flour tortillas
• 12 pieces eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 pieces bell peppers (diced)
• 1 piece onion (diced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Cook the breakfast sausage in the skillet until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage and set it aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.

Step 3

Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble the eggs over medium heat. Stir frequently until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked sausage, vegetables, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Lay out the 12 flour tortillas. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, spooning it into the center of each one.

Step 7

Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly to create a burrito.

Step 8

Individually wrap each burrito in aluminum foil or parchment paper and place them in a resealable freezer bag.

Step 9

Store the burritos in the freezer for up to one month.

Step 10

To reheat, unwrap the burrito and microwave it on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through, or heat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
