Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 115g (4 oz) loose breakfast sausage
  • 2 tbsp diced green bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp diced white onion
  • 1 tbsp diced pickled jalapeño
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 large flour tortillas (25cm / 10-inch)
  • 60g (2 oz) shredded American or mild cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Cook the sausage in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat for 4 minutes, breaking it into crumbles, then add the green bell pepper, white onion, and pickled jalapeño and cook for 2 minutes 30 seconds more until softened. Push the mixture to one side.
  2. Beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper, pour into the empty side of the skillet, and fold gently for about 90 seconds until just set but still glossy. Remove from heat and fold the sausage mixture into the eggs.
  3. Warm the tortillas over a low gas flame or in a dry skillet for 20 seconds per side until pliable and lightly spotted.
  4. Divide the filling between the 2 tortillas, top each with half the shredded cheese, then fold the ends in and roll tightly seam-side down.
  5. Return the burritos to the skillet over medium heat, seam-side down, and sear for 1 minute per side until lightly golden. Slice on the diagonal and serve immediately.

Notes

You can assemble the burritos the night before and store them uncooked in the fridge, wrapped in foil. Just skip the final sear until the morning and cook straight from cold, adding an extra minute per side. The filling is forgiving, but pull the eggs off the heat while they still look slightly underdone or they will be dry by the time the burrito is rolled and seared.
