Description

A hearty and savory breakfast option filled with creamy scrambled eggs, sausages, and cheese, perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 poblano pepper (seeded and diced)
  • 12 large eggs (whisked)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (cubed, optional)
  • 6 large tortillas
  • 68 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • To serve: green onions, cilantro, Chipotle mayo, pico de gallo, or avocado

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F if you plan to bake a burrito right away.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground sausage. Brown the sausage, breaking it into pieces until no pink remains. Transfer the browned sausage to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add diced poblano peppers to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  4. Pour in the whisked eggs, sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper, and cook until the eggs begin to set, pulling up the edges.
  5. Add the cream cheese and continue to cook until melted and eggs are soft. Remove from heat.
  6. Warm each tortilla for 20 seconds in the microwave. Assemble by placing cheese, black beans, eggs, and sausage in the center of each tortilla.
  7. Fold the sides and roll tightly. Wrap in foil and bake for 8–10 minutes until heated through and edges turn golden.
  8. Serve hot, topped with green onions, cilantro, avocado, or Chipotle mayo.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace sausage with seasoned crumbled tofu or tempeh. For dairy-free, skip cream cheese and use dairy-free cheese or avocado.
