Simple but filling meal. There are only five ingredients:
• 4 tortillas (approximately a foot (.3 meter) in diameter
• 1lb jimmy dean regular pork sausage
• 8 slices American cheese
• 7 or 8 eggs
• a handful of shredded cheese (optional)
You will also need:
• large bowl for whisking
• egg whisk
• 2 large plates, big enough for the tortillas to fit on without going over the edge
• another large plate for sausage
• skillet or frying pan and stove
• microwave
• wooden spoon (optional)
• rubber or plastic spatula (metal works for cast iron pans)
1. Preheat the skillet/stovetop to medium high heat. Dump the sausage onto the heated surface and heat for 10-12 minutes or until brown, breaking apart and stirring the sausage with wooden spoon/spatula as it is cooking. I usually add a splash of vegetable oil and a slice of butter to the mix, but it should be fine without if you do not have those things.
2. Once the sausage is cooked, carefully deposit the sausage onto a plate. Then take a paper towel and very carefully wipe out most of the leftover oil (the tougher the paper towel the better, so as not to leave paper scraps in the pan). If you are not confident in doing this, you can also grab a new pan.
3. Grab the large bowl and crack 7 or 8 eggs into it and add a splash of milk or water. Whisk well until the consistency is mostly smooth. Set aside and bring your heating surface to medium low heat.
4. Grab the 4 tortillas and put them on one of the plates, and cover them with the other. Heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds and leave them there until ready to use.
5. Pour whisked eggs into the skillet. Once they are in, immediately dump the cooked sausage from the plate into the pan with the eggs, and begin mixing. Once the sausage and eggs are thoroughly mixed together, take the spatula and repeatedly scrape against the bottom of the pan, pushing the egg mix back and forth (do not do this with a metal spatula unless you have a cast iron pan, this will ruin the pan otherwise). Keep doing this until the eggs are solid and appear mostly dry, breaking up any clumps that form as you cook.
6. (Optional) set the pan to lowest heat setting and grab a small handful of shredded cheese. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the eggs and mix in until melted. This is optional and the burrito will still be good if you do not do this.
7. Turn off heat, stir occasionally to prevent burning. Take tortillas out of microwave, and uncover. Take the top plate and set on counter, placing one of the tortillas on the plate. Take a slice of cheese and break it in half, line the halves up vertically along the center of the tortilla, leaving about an inch and a half (maybe 3 or 4 cm) of room from the edge of the tortilla. Repeat with another slice of cheese.
8. Place 1/4 of the mix onto the tortilla, line up the mix so it is on top of the cheese, leaving the same amount of space from the edge of the tortilla. Then take those same edges and fold them in onto the mix. Keeping the edges folded, grab one of the two remaining edges and fold over the mix. Tuck the edge back under the mix, wrapping it into the tortilla. Then roll the burrito over the last remaining edge until it is completely wrapped.
9. Repeat steps 7-8 with the remaining 3 burritos. Burritos can be wrapped in plastic wrap or foil and stored in the fridge for 4 to 5 days; and and can be reheated later for about 45 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave.
Enjoy!

Homade tortillas are the easiest and best tasting. 👍 Thanks

I like to add left over au gratin/scalloped potatoes or even French fries. Pre-cooked sausage patties heated, then diced up work well too, easier and probably cheaper. I just put a bit of water in a big pan and they them simmer to thaw, then dice them, cook them with the eggs.

Those look great! If you have an Aldi near check out their breakfast sausage – about $2.50 for a pound. It is the best flavor sausage I’ve ever had (and half the price). I’ve serve Aldi sausage to house guests and they always ask about it, are amazed and make special trip to pick some up for themselves! Lol
