Ingredients

• 8 oz breakfast sausage
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tbsp whole milk
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
• 4 oz green chilies (canned, diced)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp cumin
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Break it up into small pieces with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are soft and scrambled, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, diced green chilies, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute, then add the chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly. Stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Remove from heat.

Step 5

To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add a portion of scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and a generous spoonful of the chile sauce to the center of the tortilla. Fold the sides in, then roll up tightly from the bottom to the top.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 7

Optional: Lightly toast the rolled burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to crisp the exterior and melt the cheese further.

Step 8

Serve warm with additional chile sauce, if desired.
