Instructions

  1. 1
    Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet on medium heat.
  2. 2
    Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, season with the desired amount of salt and pepper, whisk for about 30 seconds, and pour them into the skillet. Stir the eggs for about 30 seconds. Then continue cooking until the eggs have your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. 3
    Add breakfast sausage or chorizo to the pan and stir until cooked through. Season with taco seasoning if desired, strain off excess fat, and set aside.
  4. 4
    Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until soft and flexible. Or heat them in a skillet for a minute.
  5. 5
    Place the tortillas on a flat board or plate, then add a tablespoon of shredded cheese, sausage, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, onions, and refried beans to each tortilla. Only add avocados if serving them immediately.
  6. 6
    Next, fold the burrito by picking up one side of the tortilla and folding it over the filling. Then fold over the other side. Fold the bottom edge up and over so that the tortilla encloses the filling. Taking a firm hold, tightly roll your burritos until fully wrapped and secured. You can freeze them at this point or proceed with the next step.
  7. 7
    Heat a large skillet and melt a tablespoon of butter. Once it starts to sizzle, add the burritos, browning each side for 2-3 minutes.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or on its own.
