best breakfast burrito recipe With Salsa Verde Stripe
- Total Time: 70 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This breakfast burrito recipe features golden, crispy tortillas filled with fluffy eggs, savory turkey sausage, potatoes, and cheese, highlighted by a tangy stripe of salsa verde. It is a versatile and family-friendly meal, perfect for quick breakfasts, weekend brunch, or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 8 large (25-cm) flour tortillas
- 1 cup (115 g) shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 medium (300 g) Yukon Gold potatoes, diced small
- 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey sausage, crumbled
- 0.5 cup (120 ml) mild salsa verde
- 0.5 small (75 g) yellow onion, diced
- 1 small (150 g) red or green bell pepper, diced
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive or avocado oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook Fillings: Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet. Cook diced potatoes 8-10 minutes until tender and golden, then add onion and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened and aromatic. Push veggies aside, cook turkey sausage until browned (5-7 minutes), then mix all and season.
- Scramble Eggs: Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Cook in the skillet, stirring gently, until just set and fluffy (3-4 minutes); they should still look moist. (If eggs appear dry, stir in 1-2 Tbsp milk or water for a creamier texture.)
- Warm Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet 20-30 seconds per side until pliable and soft. Alternatively, microwave for 30 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
- Assemble Burrito: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Layer potatoes, turkey sausage, scrambled eggs, and 2 Tbsp shredded cheese down the center.
- Add Salsa Verde Stripe: Spoon a vibrant stripe of salsa verde over the fillings.
- Fold and Toast: Fold in tortilla sides, then roll tightly from the bottom. For a golden, crispy finish, toast seam-side down in a dry skillet 2-3 minutes per side.
Notes
For creamier eggs, add a splash of milk or water if they appear dry. Customize with hot sauce, cilantro, or black beans for added flavor and fiber. To save time, pre-cook fillings and store them in the fridge; assembled burritos can be air-fried for crisping.
