What is inside a breakfast burrito
The great thing about breakfast burritos, or any burrito for that matter, is that you can fill a tortilla with anything you like and it always tastes great!
Inside this breakfast burrito, you will find rice, sausage, peppers, eggs, and cheese topped off with a little ranch dressing and some hot sauce.
Step by Step Instructions
1. The Rice
Add 1 cup of jasmine rice and 1 1/2 cups water to a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 18 minutes. Remove the rice from the heat and let it rest 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
2. The Peppers
Slice two bell peppers (any color you like) into strips. Add 1 tsp of oil to a pan and cook the peppers over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until tender and set aside.
3. The Sausage
In a pan, over medium heat, brown the sausage until done and set aside.
4. The Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 dozen eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 2 tsp salt. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the eggs, cook until done, and set aside.
5. Assembling the Burritos
a. Lay out a tortilla and put 1/8 of the rice, peppers, sausage, eggs, and cheese slightly off center in the tortilla. Top with 1 tsp hot sauce 1 tbsp ranch dressing.
b. Fold the left and right sides together, leaving about an inch of space between the two sides.
c. Fold the bottom toward the top.
d. Continue rolling into a burrito.
