Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 8 oz breakfast sausage
• 6 eggs
• 2 tbsp whole milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the sausage mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove the sausage and pepper mixture from the skillet, set aside, and wipe the skillet clean.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. If using hot sauce, whisk it in as well.

Step 5

Heat the cleaned skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set and scrambled.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 7

To assemble each burrito, spoon a generous portion of the sausage and pepper mixture onto the center of a tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, and optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 9

Serve the burritos warm with additional salsa or sour cream on the side if desired. Enjoy your Sunday brunch!
