Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or any neutral oil
  • 1 yellow Onion diced
  • 1 green Bell pepper diced
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 lb pork sausage turkey or chicken sausage or chorizo
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 12 large Eggs whisked
  • 8 oz shredded cheese
  • 8 large flour Tortillas

Instructions

  • Heat a large pan over medium high heat, once hot add in the olive oil. Add in the diced onions and bell pepper. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • To the same pan, add your ground meat of choice, mix together with the onions and peppers. Season with the garlic powder and chili powder. Break up the meat some and cook until cooked through. Remove this mixture from the pan and set aside. Drain any excess grease there may be.
  • Lower the heat to medium. In the same pan melt the butter. Once melted pour in the whisked eggs. Wait about 1 min and start to gently scramble the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until they are just done, they should still be moist. Don’t overcook them or they will be overcooked when reheating the burritos. Remove the eggs and set aside.
  • Now it’s time to assemble the burritos. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 8-10 seconds, this will make it easier to roll. Line the tortillas up for an easy assembly line.
  • To the middle add the eggs, top with the meat mixture then finish with cheese. To roll the burritos, first fold in fold in the tortilla sides, then fold the tortilla up from the bottom, and then finish rolling the burrito up until it has closed.
  • I like to brown one side of the tortilla in a pan to help seal and have a crispy finish.
  • Wrap each burrito in parchment paper or foil. Label and put into the fridge or freezer. To reheat from the fridge, air fry for 7 min or microwave for 2 minutes.
  • To reheat the burritos from frozen, remove the wrapper and place the breakfast burritos in the air fryer for 20 minutes at 400 degrees or in the microwave for 4 minutes. Every microwave and air fryer heat differently, so this is suggested.
