Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz. breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large gluten-free tortillas
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup salsa plus more for serving if desired
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned and cooked through if not already prepared. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and gently scramble until just set.
- Divide scrambled eggs, sausage, avocado, cheese, and salsa evenly among the warm tortillas.
- Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into burritos. Serve warm with additional salsa if desired and enjoy.
Notes
- Warm the tortillas before you fill them. A cold gluten-free tortilla cracks the second you fold it, so give each one 30 seconds per side in a dry skillet, or a damp towel in the microwave, until it's pliable.
- Cook the eggs over medium-low heat, low and slow. Pull them while they still look slightly underdone, since they keep cooking from residual heat and will turn watery or rubbery if you wait for them to look fully set in the pan.
- Breakfast sausage and shredded cheese are both naturally high in sodium, so taste before adding extra salt to the eggs, especially if your sausage is well seasoned already.
- Store-bought gluten-free tortillas save time but are more prone to cracking than a homemade version. Warming them longer usually solves it.
- Adjust the heat level by swapping mild salsa for a spicy variety, or adding a few diced jalapeños to the eggs while they cook.
