Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Large skillet
- Plastic wrap or parchment paper
- Gallon size freezer bags
Ingredients
- 2 lbs high-quality ground breakfast sausage can make homemade
- 18 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup salsa use your favorite
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or use your favorite
- 20 medium-size flour tortillas
Instructions
- Using a large skillet brown the sausage and cook till done (about 8 minutes). Break into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and seasonings. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage and cook until the eggs are set, gently moving them around the pan as they cook.
- Remove from heat and stir in the salsa and shredded cheese.
- Next, assemble the burritos. Lay a tortilla flat on the counter and scoop about ⅓ to ½ cup of filling into the center.
- Fold the sides inward and roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito.
- Allow the burritos to cool slightly before storing them.
- Once cooled, wrap each burrito individually in parchment paper or plastic wrap and place them into the refrigerator or freezer bags. Another option is to place the burritos on a baking sheet and freeze them for a few hours until solid before transferring them to a freezer bag.
Notes
Reheating From the Refrigerator (Meal Prep):
If the burritos are stored in the refrigerator for weekly meal prep, remove the wrap and place the burrito on a microwave-safe plate. Wrap it in a paper towel and heat for 60–90 seconds, or until warmed through. For a crispier tortilla, you can warm the burrito in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side. Reheating From the Freezer:
Remove the plastic wrap and wrap the frozen burrito in a paper towel. Microwave for 2–4 minutes, or until heated through. Placing a microwave-safe cup of water in the microwave while reheating helps create steam and keeps the tortilla from drying out. Oven Method (Best Texture):
Wrap the burrito in aluminum foil and heat in a 400°F oven.
• From frozen: 30–40 minutes, or until heated through.
• From refrigerated/thawed: 10–15 minutes, or until warmed through.
