Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds spicy breakfast sausage
1 onion, diced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
Two 15-ounce cans refried beans
1/3 cup red enchilada sauce
8 tablespoons salted butter
18 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Twelve 10-inch flour tortillas
2 1/4 cups grated Cheddar
Directions
- Add the sausage, onion and peppers to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, breaking up the sausage into small pieces, until it is brown and cooked through and until the vegetables have softened, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the refried beans to a small pot over medium heat until warmed through. Set aside.
- Stir the enchilada sauce into the sausage mix. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet and return it to the heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and let melt.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and milk in a large pitcher or bowl. Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Add the egg mix to the skillet and scramble to your preferred consistency. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Build the burritos by spreading 3 tablespoons beans in the middle of the first tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup each of the sausage and egg mixes. Top with 3 tablespoons Cheddar, then tuck in the sides and roll it up. Set aside and repeat until you’ve rolled all 12 burritos.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Fry the burritos in 3 batches until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes on each side, adding butter as needed. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined pan. Eat immediately, or, if freezing, let the burritos cool, 15 minutes.
- Wrap each burrito in parchment paper, then place in a bag and label. Store in the freezer.
- To reheat, place a burrito on a plate and microwave for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, flipping halfway through.
