Ingredients
Scale
For the Roll-Ups:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage (or sausage links, sliced)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter for cooking)
For Optional Add-ins:
- Diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra veggies
- Salsa or hot sauce for extra flavor
- Avocado or guacamole for a creamy texture
- Crumbled bacon or ham for more protein
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked. Once done, remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk (if using). Whisk together until the eggs are well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet used for the sausage, add a bit of oil or butter. Pour the scrambled eggs into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside. Warm the tortillas in the pan for about 30 seconds on each side to make them soft and pliable. Then, layer each tortilla with a portion of the scrambled eggs, sausage, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Roll Them Up: Carefully roll the tortillas, folding in the edges as you go, to create a neat, tight roll-up. Once all the roll-ups are assembled, serve immediately or wrap them in foil to store.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve these roll-ups with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauce. For extra flair, top them with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Veggie version: Add some sautéed spinach, bell peppers, onions, or even mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Change the cheese: Try swapping cheddar for Swiss, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
- Use different meat: For a healthier option, you can swap the sausage for turkey sausage or crumbled bacon.
- Spicy version: Add some diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for a kick.
