# Instructions:
01 -
Want to freeze ’em? Wrap burritos in parchment and wait until they’re cool so the texture stays good.
02 -
Set a tortilla out, pile on about 175 g of filling just below the center, fold up the bottom, tuck in both sides, and roll it up snug.
03 -
Put the sausage back in with the veggies and eggs. Toss in cheese and taco seasoning, give it all a stir, and take the pan off the heat.
04 -
Pour the whisked eggs into your pan. Use medium heat and move them around gently. Pull them off once they’re mostly set and look a bit shiny.
05 -
Drop in that chopped garlic and stir it around for half a minute so everything smells awesome.
06 -
Squirt in olive oil or toss in butter. Let the onions and bell pepper get soft, stirring now and then, about 5 or 6 minutes.
07 -
Heat up a big non-stick pan on medium. Cook the sausage, breaking it up, for roughly 8 to 10 minutes until it’s browned. Scoop it out and save some drips in the pan.
08 -
Give the tortillas a quick warm up—pop them in a dry skillet or zap in the microwave till bendy so they won't rip.
09 -
Chop onion and red bell pepper. Crack the eggs into a big bowl, pour in milk, throw in some salt and pepper, and beat it all until it’s nice and smooth.
# Notes:
01 -
Let your filling cool down so the tortillas don’t get soggy inside.
02 -
Warm tortillas are way easier to work with and less likely to crack.
03 -
Don’t load them up too much or you’ll have a mess when you try to roll.
04 -
If you stash burritos in the freezer, thaw them in the fridge overnight for the best texture.
