SOUTHWEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS

My wife and I love eating Mexican so I came up with this recipe so that we could have a little more variety in our morning meals. We are busy people and don't have time to make elaborate meals in the morning. In the past we have bought frozen breakfast burritos, but they are not very tasty and I knew they could be improved upon. This recipe will make a large batch of the burrito fixins that you can freeze, or store in the refrigerator so that you can make great breakfast burritos whenever you please.

Time 1h5m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 eggs
⅔ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound bulk pork sausage
2 tablespoons minced garlic
½ red onion, diced
1 tomato, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 (3.5 ounce) can diced jalapenos
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
20 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt in a large bowl. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture; cook and stir until eggs are completely set, about 5 minutes. Chop the cooked eggs and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and stir in the sausage and garlic. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, then add the onion. Continue cooking and stirring until the sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Combine the sausage with the eggs, tomato, cilantro, jalapeno, and taco seasoning. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature, then stir in the Cheddar cheese.
  • Place a tortilla onto your work surface, then spoon some of the filling halfway between the bottom edge and the center of the tortilla. Flatten the filling into rectangle shape with the back of a spoon. Fold the bottom of the tortilla snugly over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Tightly wrap individual burritos with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve. Heat in the microwave until hot, 3 to 4 minutes, before serving.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
10 ounces breakfast sausage, casings removed
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
8 ounces shredded extra-sharp Cheddar (about 2 cups)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
Salsa and guacamole, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush a baking sheet with oil.
  • Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked all the way through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, cumin, chili powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add the oil to the skillet (you won't need to if your sausage rendered enough fat). Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the eggs. Lightly scramble until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle each tortilla with a little bit of cheese, followed by about 1/4 cup each of the sausage, eggs and red bell pepper. Top each with a few cilantro leaves and the remaining cheese. Roll up the tortillas around the filling and place them on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down.
  • Brush the tops of the burritos with oil. Bake until the tops of the tortillas are golden brown and slightly crunchy, about 15 minutes. Serve with salsa, guacamole, anything!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your burritos will taste. Whenever possible, use organic, local, and seasonal produce.
  • Cook your eggs thoroughly: Eggs are a common ingredient in breakfast burritos, so it's important to make sure they're cooked all the way through. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Don't overstuff your burritos: If you overstuff your burritos, they'll be difficult to fold and eat. Aim for a filling that is about 1/2 cup per burrito.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings for your breakfast burritos. Some popular options include eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, vegetables, and salsa.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Once your burritos are cooked, you can serve them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce.
