How to Make the Recipe
Create batches of breakfast burritos that freeze beautifully and taste fresh every time.
Step 1: Cook Sausage & Veggies
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil. Add sausage, break up, and cook until no pink remains. Stir in pepper and onion; sauté 4 minutes.
Step 2: Scramble Eggs

Step 3: Warm Tortillas

Step 4: Assemble Burritos

Step 5: Roll Tight
