Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large flour tortillas burrito size
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbled
  • 4 slices cooked bacon crumbled
  • 1 cup cooked hash browns
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers
  • ½ cup diced onions

Instructions
 

  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk with milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder until fully combined.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side to make them more flexible.
  • Lay out each tortilla and evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, hash browns, and sautéed vegetables.
  • Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
  • If eating immediately, place burritos in a skillet over medium heat and toast each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • If freezing, wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Store for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, or heat in a skillet for a crispier texture.
  • Serve hot with salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
