Instructions
Prepare the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Cook the Vegetables
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach and diced tomato, cooking until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the Protein
Incorporate the cooked breakfast sausage or bacon into the skillet with the vegetables, stirring to combine and heat through.
Scramble the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the vegetable and protein mixture. Gently stir continuously until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Assemble the Burritos
Warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Spoon an equal portion of the egg and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, a spoonful of salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro.
Roll the Burritos
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom to enclose all ingredients securely. Repeat for all burritos.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the assembled burritos immediately, accompanied by extra salsa or sour cream on the side if desired.
