Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 red onion finely chopped (see notes)
  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion finely chopped (see notes)
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 large flour tortillas (8-10 inches)
  • 2/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2/3 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • sour cream (optional)
  • salsa (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Brown the pork sausage.  About halfway through the browning process, add the onions, peppers, and jalapenos.  Cook until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are soft. Plate the cooked sausage and vegetables.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the eggs and the water.  Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. 3

    Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet.  Using a wooden or silicone spatula, pull the cooked eggs toward the center, letting the uncooked eggs flood to the edges.  Keep repeating this procedure until the eggs are mostly set.  Turn off the heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 

  4. 4

    To assemble the burritos add a few heaping tablespoons of the sausage mixture, scrambled eggs, and cheese. Then fold the tortilla up from the bottom, then fold in the sides, and then finish rolling the burrito up.

  5. 5

    Place in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, seam side down.  Brown on all sides.  If desired, serve with sour cream and salsa
