Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. Add 12 ounces of breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for approximately 7–10 minutes until browned and crumbled.
  3. In a bowl, crack open 10 large eggs and beat them with salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and cook for about 4–5 minutes, scrambling until fully set.
  4. Once eggs are cooked, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture, stirring gently to combine and allow melting.
  5. Lay out 4 large flour tortillas and heat them in a microwave if needed for pliability.
  6. Spoon filling onto the center of each tortilla, top with diced avocado, fold sides, and roll tightly.
  7. Cut burritos in half if desired, and serve warm with salsa and hot sauce for dipping.
