Let's Stick Together Breakfast Burrito

I love breakfast burritos.  I love the peppers, onion, tomato, eggs, sausage and cheese all rolled in to one big, soft tortilla.

I hate it when I'm eating my breakfast burrito and all the good stuff starts falling out when I take a bite.  I really don't like getting tomato or sausage in my lap.

The solution?  A "Let's Stick Together Breakfast Burrito".  Nothing falls out, everything stays in, and it's one yummy, fluffy breakfast!  (Though if you use salsa, it might still drip a little so be sure to eat over your plate.)

"Let's Stick Together" Breakfast Burrito
I haven't included amounts for this recipe because you'll want to make it to your taste, and the amounts will changed based on how many people you're cooking for.  You can leave stuff out, put other stuff in, etc.  The pictures show amounts that make one really large burrito.

Olive oil
Onion, diced
Pepper, diced
Minced garlic
Fresh tomato, diced
Breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
Eggs
Salt/Pepper to taste


Preheat a little olive oil in a skillet.  Add diced onion, peppers, and a little minced garlic.  Saute until onion starts to look translucent.

Add diced tomato and cooked sausage, and cook for another minute or two until they are heated through.


Meanwhile, beat your eggs with a fork and add a little salt/pepper to taste.

When the sausage and tomato are warm, add the egg to the skillet.  Lift the veggies to make sure the egg covers the bottom of the skillet.

After a couple of minutes, the egg on the bottom will be cooked; try to flip the egg mixture in sections to get the uncooked egg to the bottom of the pan.  Don't try to stir this, or you'll end up with a bunch of uncooked egg, which is just nasty.  Remember: FLIP!
When it's done, it'll look something like this.

 Turn off the heat and let sit for another 3-5 minutes to finish cooking all the way.  If you're going to add cheese, now would be the time.  This way it melts onto the eggs so it won't fall out when you're eating.

Slap that concoction onto your tortilla and add a little salsa.  Wrap it up and enjoy every delicious, neat bite.
