Turkey Sausage Breakfast Burritos
Turkey Sausage Breakfast Burritos
I wanted to make something that could be made in a big batch, then put in the freezer for a quick breakfast, or eaten for breakfast while traveling. This recipe was wonderful. You can adjust it any way you like – change the meat, add different fillings. It’s extremely versatile.
1 pound breakfast turkey sausage (sold in a roll)
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil, divided
¼ cup diced onion
¼ diced green pepper
4 eggs
2 TBS water
½ cup colby jack cheese
½ tsp Kosher or sea salt
¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
6 Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas
salsa to taste
sharp knife/cutting board
2 skillets
small bowl
whisk
wooden spoon
spatula
measuring cups/spoons
cheese grater
Grate the cheese.
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the turkey sausage. Cook until done.
Heat another skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining oil. Add the onions and peppers. Cook until onions are soft and transluscent.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add the water. Whisk until beaten well.
Slowly pour the eggs into the pan with the onions and pepper.
Let set for about 30 seconds.
Add the salt and pepper.
Sprinkle the cheese on top.
Gently stir, using the spatula to shift the cooked eggs on the bottom to the top. Wait a few seconds and repeat with the same motions until the eggs are cooked through.
Immediately remove from heat. If you leave eggs in the pan, they will continue to cook and will get dry and ick.
On a flour tortilla, place a spoon full of the sausage. (My flour tortillas are not usually so visually off. I think my dough was slightly too dry when I made these tortillas, causing the edges to look like they did in these pictures. The flavor was wonderful, however.)
Add a spoon full of the eggs.
Add salsa (if desired).
Roll up.
Enjoy.

I froze four of them by wrapping them in aluminum foil and placing the wrapped burritos in a freezer bag.
I did not put salsa in the ones I froze.
They reheated easily in the microwave (after removing the foil) for 2 minutes each.
I would love to hear any feedback about this recipe. Did you make it? Did you enjoy it? Did you make any adjustments to it?
Hallee

Hallee, I love making these. Oftentimes, I make a large pan full and flash freeze them with toothpicks holding them together. Then I place them all in a large ziploc freezer bag. We can take out however many we want to reheat at a time. Before we heat them, we wrap them in a paper towel so they stay moist. Thanks for the inspiration your blog always gives. I generally leave here ready to take on the world. :-) God bless!
yum! really reading food blogs when im hungry doesn’t help…when ive made them before and froze them, i wrap in a paper towel first, then the foil. remove foil(microwave) and out the door we can go! i save the foil for next time usually!
one of my favorite breakfasts! Except I add the sausage in the egg and throw in some salsa.. YUMMY!! Never thought about freezing them though! What a great idea since I am always running late in the mornings. Gonna do that today!
