Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb (454 g) breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup (about 100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients needed for the recipe including flour tortillas, breakfast sausage, eggs, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and olive oil to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage for 5-7 minutes until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks for even browning.
- Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs along with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the sausage (or in a clean skillet if preferred) and cook gently until just set but still soft, stirring occasionally for fluffy eggs.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface and evenly distribute the cooked sausage and eggs among them. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture, then roll up each tortilla tightly.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and serve them warm for a satisfying breakfast treat.
Notes
- Feel free to use turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- You can add vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the sausage for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier twist.
- These roll-ups can be wrapped in foil and frozen for meal prep; reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
