# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 8 large eggs
02 - 9 oz breakfast sausage or vegetarian sausage

03 - 1 red bell pepper, diced

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove sausage and set aside; drain excess fat if needed.
02 - In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and paprika. Pour eggs into the skillet with vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until just set.
04 - Return cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
05 - Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
06 - Divide egg mixture evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheese.
07 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form burritos.
08 - For storage, wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
09 - To serve, microwave refrigerated burritos for 1–2 minutes or frozen burritos for 3–4 minutes until heated through. Serve with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Mornings become effortless when breakfast is already made and waiting
  • Freeze beautifully and taste just as fresh as the day you made them
  • Customize fillings so everyone gets exactly what they crave
02 -
  • Let the filling cool completely before wrapping, or condensation will make tortillas soggy
  • Roll burritos tightly but not so tight that tortillas tear during reheating
  • Frozen burritos are best eaten within 2 months for optimal texture and flavor
03 -
  • Use extra large tortillas if you tend to overfill them like I do
  • Double the spices since freezing dulls seasonings slightly
