Instructions
-
Warm the Tortillas: Start by warming the tortillas in the microwave for just a few seconds to make them more pliable, then place each one on a serving plate, ready for filling.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: Crack all six eggs into a large measuring cup or a small mixing bowl. Add your choice of milk or cream to enrich the mixture, then whisk it gently until just combined. Set this aside for later use.
-
Sauté the Vegetables and Meat: In a nonstick skillet, heat the bacon grease or olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, sweet bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms, followed by the bulk pork sausage. Sauté the mixture for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Add the Egg Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables and sausage in the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of taco seasoning to enhance the flavors.
-
Scramble the Eggs: Cook the egg mixture while gently scrambling it until the eggs are almost fully set. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt into the warm filling.
-
Assemble the Burritos: Take a third of the egg and meat mixture and place it in the center of each tortilla. Roll up each burrito tightly, folding in the sides as you go to keep all the delicious filling secure.
-
