Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (85/15 fat ratio recommended)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (more to taste)
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
12 eggs
1/4 cup water or milk
2 tablespoons butter
7–10 large flour tortillas
Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage mixture for 8–10 minutes until browned. Do not drain the fat.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 2–3 minutes. Gradually add milk while stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Season to taste and keep warm.
- Whisk eggs with water or milk in a bowl. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low. Add the eggs and gently stir until fluffy and fully scrambled. Set aside.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make pliable.
- To assemble, place scrambled eggs in the center of each tortilla, spoon sausage gravy over them, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold and wrap burritos tightly. Serve immediately, refrigerate for up to 3–4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Make vegetarian by swapping ground beef for plant-based sausage or crumbled tofu.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicier version.
- Experiment with cheeses like pepper jack or Monterey Jack.
- Add sautéed vegetables such as peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor.
- For meal prep, wrap burritos in foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
