Instructions
- Prep the Veggies and Sausage (5 mins): Dice the onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro. Crumble the smoked turkey sausage.
- Sauté the Sausage and Veggies (7 mins): Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned. Toss in the onions and bell peppers; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and/or salsa and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Scramble the Eggs (5 mins): In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm the Tortillas (30 secs): Warm the tortillas in a microwave or dry skillet for easier rolling. They’re so, so pliable when heated.
- Assemble the Burritos (5 mins): Lay out a tortilla and fill it with a portion of scrambled eggs, sausage mixture, cheese, black beans, and cilantro.
- Roll ‘Em Up (2 mins): Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then tightly roll from the bottom up. That’s it!
Variations & Substitutions
Swap out the smoked turkey for ground beef or chicken. Honestly, if you don’t have the sausage on hand then just skip it. Use a dairy-free cheese substitute, add a sprinkle of your favorite hot sauce, or roasted sweet potatoes for a southwestern flair.
Blackstone Breakfast Burritos Tips
If you’re using a Blackstone griddle, it’s even easier! Cook everything right on the griddle, from the sausage and veggies to the eggs. I like to keep everything in separate zones on the griddle to prevent mixing. Warm the tortillas directly on the griddle for just a few seconds per side. Blackstone breakfast burritos are perfect for weekend brunch or a casual family meal.
Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips
To freeze breakfast burritos individually, let them cool completely, then wrap each in foil or plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months. These are perfect for make-ahead breakfasts or how to freeze breakfast burritos for later use.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover burritos in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing breakfast burritos are amazing because when you are ready to eat, thaw a burrito in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or in a skillet until heated thoroughly.
