This is my take on a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages, chopped and stir-fried bell peppers and onions, melted Mexican 4-cheese blend, and medium-hot salsa.
The ingredient amounts all depend on the amount of breakfast burritos that you are cooking.
Scrambled Eggs
- 5 Eggs
- Milk
Breakfast Sausages
- 4 Breakfast Sausage Patties
Onions and Peppers
- 3 Bell Peppers
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper
- 1 Large Onion
Tortillas
- Mexican Soft Flower Tortillas
Seasoning
- Garlic Powder
- Olive oil
- Parsley Flakes
- Salt
Toppings
- Mexican 4-Cheese Blend (Shredded Cheese)
- Salsa
Eggs
- Crack 5 eggs and pour them into a bowl.
- Beat the eggs with a whisk until the egg white was evenly mixed with the yolk.
- If the eggs are not evenly mixed, the scrambled eggs will be spotted with egg whites.
- Add milk to the egg mix and cook the scrambled eggs by stirring the cooked parts towards the center repeatedly on medium-low heat.
- Add parsley flakes as you cook the scrambled eggs.
- You can add any variety of your choice seasoning at this point.
- My preference is salt and garlic powder.
Breakfast Sausages
- Cook 4 breakfast sausage patties on medium-low heat.
- You can use any choice meats, such as small pieces or strips of chicken for example.
- Cut the sausage patties into small pieces using a spatula and a wooden spoon.
Onions and Peppers
- Stir-fry onions and green, red, and yellow bell peppers in a small pan on medium-low heat.
Tortillas
- Put a small amount of olive oil in a small pan, on low heat.
- Cover a Mexican soft flower tortilla with the olive oil on both sides.
- Put the Mexican 4-cheese blend on one side and scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage pieces, stir-fried bell peppers, and onions on the other half of the tortilla.
- Let the shredded cheese melt just a little bit.
Salsa
- Put the salsa on the side and add it to the breakfast burrito(s) as needed.

I prefer to have the salsa on the side so that I can add to the breakfast burrito as I eat it. This way I won't add too much salsa to overwhelm the flavors of the breakfast burrito.
I kept the extra portions in case I want to cook another tortilla or save them for the next day.
This is a very delicious breakfast. In hindsight, I would have put less ingredient portions into each burrito to make it easier to fold the burrito.
