Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: salsa, hot sauce, or avocado for serving

Equipment Used

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Directions & Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Set aside.
