# How To Make:
01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove sausage and set aside; drain excess fat if needed.
02 - In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and paprika. Pour eggs into the skillet with vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until just set.
04 - Return cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
05 - Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
06 - Divide egg mixture evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheese.
07 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form burritos.
08 - Wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
09 - Microwave refrigerated burritos for 1-2 minutes or frozen burritos for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Serve with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Having breakfast ready in under two minutes feels like cheating the system
- The filling actually tastes better after it sits in the freezer, like the flavors had time to really become friends
02 -
- Cool the filling completely before rolling, or your tortillas will get steamy and tear apart
- Dont overfill the burritos or they will burst in the microwave—leave room for the rolling
03 -
- Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded—melts so much better
- Use a paper towel under each burrito when microwaving to catch any escaping moisture
