Ingredients

• 2 links vegetarian sausage
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 small onion
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large tortillas
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by dicing the red bell pepper and the onion into small, manageable pieces.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are soft and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Meanwhile, crumble the vegetarian sausage links into small pieces.

Step 5

Add the crumbled sausage to the skillet with the peppers and onion. Cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned.

Step 6

In a bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with 2 tablespoons of milk, and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and push the sausage and vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture into the empty side of the skillet and gently scramble, combining it with the sausage and vegetables as it cooks.

Step 9

Continue cooking until the eggs are fully cooked, then remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 10

Warm the large tortillas by setting them on a skillet for 10-15 seconds each or until they become pliable.

Step 11

Spread each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of salsa.

Step 12

Divide the scrambled egg and sausage mixture evenly among the tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese and a bit of fresh cilantro.

Step 13

Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up to form a burrito.

Step 14

Serve the burritos warm, optionally with extra salsa on the side.
