Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (any flavor)
- 2 cups baby spinach or chopped kale (optional)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 green onions, diced
- 8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas*
- ½ cup chunky salsa
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, smoked paprika, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers, green onions, and kale or spinach (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers have softened. Transfer the mixture to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low. In the same skillet, add the whisked eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and set aside.
- Assemble the burritos: To each tortilla, add in 1/8th of the sausage, 1/8th of the scrambled eggs, 1 tablespoon of chunky salsa, and 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll, tucking in the edges as you go.
- Heat the clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burritos, seam side down, and cook until the bottom of the burritos are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the burritos over and cook for 1 more minute until golden brown.
- Serve immediately or cool and store in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Tortillas: Make sure you use large or extra-large “burrito size” tortillas so that it’s easy to fill, tuck, and fold everything together into a neat burrito.
- Freezing: Let the burritos cool completely and then wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then place the burritos in a freezer-safe resealable container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, unwrap them and warm up in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes or until they're fully heated through, or reheat them in the microwave.
