Ingredients
Scale
For the Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon taco seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Filling and Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- ½ pound breakfast sausage or ground beef, cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup diced bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
For Serving
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Avocado (sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until they are slightly softened and fragrant.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the prepared egg mixture into the skillet with the bell peppers. Stir gently and continuously as the eggs cook to scramble them until they are just set but still moist.
- Add Sausage and Green Onions: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage along with the chopped green onions, mixing thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly divide the egg and sausage mixture among the tortillas, placing it slightly off-center. Sprinkle each with the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
- Roll the Tortillas: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you roll to ensure the filling is secure and the roll ups hold their shape.
- Serve: Serve the warm taco tortilla roll ups immediately, accompanied by salsa, sour cream, or sliced avocado as desired for dipping or topping.
Notes
- To make ahead, prepare the roll ups and refrigerate for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
- You can also bake the roll ups at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to melt the cheese extra thoroughly.
- For a vegetarian version, swap the breakfast sausage for black beans or tofu crumbles.
- Use gluten-free tortillas if you need to make this gluten-free.
