A hearty and flavorful breakfast burrito packed with sausage, bacon, eggs, and a bright homemade salsa verde, perfect for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

  • Breakfast sausage, crumbled (Johnsonville preferred)
  • Bacon strips, cooked crisp and chopped
  • Chorizo (optional)
  • Large eggs, beaten (room temperature recommended)
  • Whole milk or cream, a splash
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tomatillos, husked and rinsed (about 8 medium-sized)
  • Fresh cilantro, about ½ cup chopped
  • Jalapeño or serrano pepper, seeded for mild or whole for heat
  • Garlic cloves, 2-3 peeled
  • Fresh lime juice, from 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • Water to blend (about ¼ cup or 60 ml)
  • Flour tortillas, large size
  • Shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
  • Avocado slices or guacamole (optional)
  • Sour cream or crema (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the meats: Heat skillet over medium heat. Cook crumbled breakfast sausage until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain excess grease.
  2. In the same pan, cook bacon strips until crisp, about 5 minutes, then chop. If using chorizo, cook until browned and crumbly. Combine all cooked meats and set aside.
  3. Prepare the salsa verde: Boil husked tomatillos in water for about 5 minutes until softened. Drain and transfer to blender.
  4. Add cilantro, jalapeño, garlic cloves, lime juice, salt, and about ¼ cup water. Blend until smooth but slightly textured. Adjust seasoning and chill if desired.
  5. Scramble the eggs: Whisk eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat, add butter or oil, pour in eggs.
  6. Stir gently until eggs form soft curds but remain moist and fluffy. Remove from heat immediately.
  7. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable but not hot.
  8. Assemble the burrito: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Add scrambled eggs, then meat mixture evenly on top.
  9. Sprinkle shredded cheese over hot meats to melt slightly. Add salsa verde, avocado slices, and sour cream if desired.
  10. Fold sides over filling and roll tightly from one end to the other.
  11. Optional finishing touch: Heat skillet over medium heat, place burrito seam-side down, cook 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Notes

Cook meats separately and drain fat to avoid greasiness. Use low heat and gentle stirring for fluffy eggs. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Salsa verde can be made ahead and tastes better after resting. Optional to crisp burrito in skillet after assembly for texture contrast.
