directions

  • Over medium-high heat, in a large nonstick skillet, add the crumbled sausage. Stir and break up until sausage is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain and dispose of remaining grease.
  • Place the butter in the skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add the eggs, stirring frequently until they're scrambled and cooked through, about two minutes. Add the cooked sausage, chipotle peppers if desired, and salsa to the egg mixture and stir gently. Remove from heat.
  • Warm the tortillas as directed on package. Place about 1/2 cup of the egg and sausage mixture onto each tortilla and sprinkle each one with cheese. To form the burrito, fold the sides of the tortilla in toward the middle and then fold up from bottom. Serve immediately or freeze.
  • If the burritos won't be eaten right away, freeze them using the following steps: Lay freezer bag flat and place the burritos inside so they are lying side by side and not overlapping. You may need to use multiple bags depending on how many burritos you are freezing. Close the bag most of the way and then press air out of the bag, gently smoothing the wrinkles so that it clings to the food to protect against freezer burn. Finish closing the bag completely and freeze as soon as possible.
  • When ready to eat, take the burrito out of the bag and wrap in a plain paper towel. Leave it wrapped in the paper towel and microwave until hot, about one to three minutes on high.

  1. What a sassy little breakfast burrito! The whole family really enjoyed these. I had to make some changes because my jar of salsa in the fridge was no good and sadly no chipotle around either. I used jalapeno jack cheese and served fresh tomato slices and sliced jalapenos on the side with a dollop of whipped cream. I doubled the number of eggs because I didn't want the sausage to dominate the other ingredients too much...plus I needed to stretch this meal to serve bigger appetites for dinner. This was such a quick fix and a welcome change to our menu. I will definitely make these again.
