Southwestern Morning Burritos
  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together in a large bowl. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture; cook and stir until the eggs are fully set, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Break the cooked eggs into small pieces and place them in a large bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat the same large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the sausage and the garlic in the hot skillet for 5 minutes, then add the onion; continue to cook and stir until the sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease.

  5. 5

    Transfer the sausage to the eggs in the bowl. Stir in the tomato, cilantro, jalapeños, and taco seasoning until well combined. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then stir in the Cheddar cheese.

  6. 6

    Place a tortilla on your work surface, then spoon some of the egg filling halfway between the bottom edge and the center of the tortilla. Flatten the filling into a rectangle with the back of a spoon. Fold the bottom of the tortilla snugly over the filling, then fold in the left and right edges. Roll the burrito up to the top edge to form a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

  7. 7

    Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer until ready to serve.

  8. 8

    To serve, heat the burritos in the microwave until hot, 3 to 4 minutes.
