Breakfast Burritos

Meal Prep Breakfast Burritos (Makes 5)

Ingredients:

• 5 large flour tortillas (burrito size)

• 7 large eggs

• ⅓ cup milk (any kind, for fluffy eggs)

• ¾ lb breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ¼ tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ¾ to 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your fave blend)

• Optional: sautéed peppers/onions, spinach, or a dash of hot sauce

Instructions:

1. Cook the sausage:

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble the sausage. Cook until fully done, then drain any excess grease and set aside.

2. Scramble the eggs:

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Pour into the skillet over medium-low heat and scramble gently until just set (still soft but cooked through).

3. Assemble the burritos:

Lay out the 5 tortillas. Evenly divide the scrambled eggs and sausage among them. Top each with shredded cheese and any optional extras.

4. Roll ‘em up:

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

Optional: toast seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes to seal and add a little crisp.

• Fridge: Wrap in foil or parchment and store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
