Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper, diced any color
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 16 ounces seasoned ground chicken sausage Italian or breakfast style
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil
  • 10 large eggs, whisked
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
For Assembly
  • 8 burrito size flour tortillas 10 inch
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the ground chicken sausage to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through. Stir in the garlic powder and chili powder. Remove the sausage and vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt the butter or add oil to the same skillet. Pour in the whisked eggs.
  4. Cook the eggs, stirring frequently, until they are scrambled and just set. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  5. Warm the tortillas. To assemble, layer the sausage mixture, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese down the center of each tortilla.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up. Serve immediately or wrap for storage.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tip: To store, let the burritos cool completely. Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer.
