Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 breakfast sausage links or ½ pound ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
Wrap and Seasonings:
- 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings:
- Salsa
- Hot sauce
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare sausage by cooking links or ground meat in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned and crisp, ensuring complete cooking through.
- Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper until ingredients are fully integrated and slightly frothy.
- Using the same skillet, melt butter and pour in egg mixture, gently stirring to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs with a creamy consistency.
- Warm tortillas briefly in microwave or dry skillet to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking during wrapping.
- Assemble wraps by positioning scrambled eggs centrally on each tortilla, creating an even base layer.
- Distribute cooked sausage pieces evenly over eggs, ensuring balanced flavor distribution.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously across the sausage, allowing for maximum melting potential.
- Carefully fold tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly to create a sealed, compact wrap.
- Optional: Crisp the wrap in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat, rotating to achieve golden-brown exterior and help cheese melt completely.
- Serve immediately, accompanied by optional condiments like salsa, hot sauce, or freshly chopped green onions for added zest.
Notes
- Customize protein by swapping sausage with turkey, chicken, or plant-based alternatives for diverse dietary needs.
- Prevent soggy wraps by cooking eggs slightly underdone, as they’ll continue cooking during wrapping and optional toasting.
- Meal prep friendly: assemble wraps ahead and individually wrap in foil, storing in refrigerator for quick 2-3 day grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding fresh herbs like chives or cilantro, or incorporating diced bell peppers during egg scrambling for extra texture and nutrition.
