Ingredients
Scale
- ½ pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 sausage links
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large flour tortillas (8–10 inches)
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded cheese
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers
- ¼ cup diced onions
- ¼ cup chopped spinach
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Salsa, for serving
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Sauté sausage in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, thoroughly cooking until completely browned with no pink remaining, then transfer to a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Egg Crafting: Whisk eggs with salt and pepper, then gently scramble in the same skillet over low-medium heat, creating soft, creamy curds by delicately folding until just set.
- Tortilla Conditioning: Warm tortillas briefly to enhance flexibility, preventing potential cracking during the rolling process.
- Assembly Technique: Position scrambled eggs slightly off-center on each tortilla, distribute cooked sausage evenly, and optionally sprinkle shredded cheese to allow gentle melting from residual heat.
- Rolling Method: Carefully fold tortilla’s bottom edge upward, tucking sides inward to create a compact, neat bundle that securely contains all ingredients.
- Serving Presentation: Slice roll-ups diagonally for an appealing look and convenient eating, serving immediately to maintain optimal temperature and flavor integrity.
Notes
- Optimize Meat Preparation: Brown sausage thoroughly to develop deep, rich flavors and eliminate any potential foodborne risks by cooking until no pink remains.
- Master Egg Technique: Maintain low-medium heat when scrambling eggs to achieve creamy, soft texture without overcooking or becoming rubbery.
- Perfect Tortilla Handling: Warm tortillas briefly to enhance flexibility, preventing tears and cracks during rolling process for clean, professional-looking roll-ups.
- Cheese Melting Strategy: Add cheese while ingredients are still warm to create a gentle melt without completely liquefying, maintaining texture and flavor integrity.
