Bryan's Best Breakfast Burrito

Breakfast Burrito Recipe with a Kick of Sweet Heat

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and nothing beats a breakfast burrito packed with flavor and nutrients to fuel your morning. Today, I’m excited to share one of my all-time favorite breakfast burrito recipes that blends savory, smoky, and sweet flavors for a delicious and satisfying meal.

This burrito features Trader Joe's handmade flour tortillas, fluffy eggs, shredded Gruyère & Swiss cheese crunchy veggies, savory Pederson's Organic No Sugar Added Smoked Sausage, and a sweet-spicy kick from Georgia Peach & Vidalia Onion Hot Sauce. It’s simple, packed with protein, and a flavor bomb in every bite!

Ingredients:
- 2 Trader Joe’s Handmade Flour Tortillas
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 oz shredded Gruyère & Swiss cheese
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- ¼ cup chopped bell pepper (use any color you like!)
- 1 serving Pederson’s Organic No Sugar Added Smoked Sausage (as seen in the image above)
- 1-2 tbsp Georgia Peach & Vidalia Onion Hot Sauce (as seen in the image above)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the veggies and sausage:
  - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  - Add the chopped red onion and bell pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
  - Slice the Pederson’s Organic Smoked Sausage and add it to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the sausage is warmed through and lightly browned.

2. Cook the eggs:
  - While the sausage and veggies are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk.
  - In a separate pan, scramble the eggs until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

3. Assemble the burrito:
  - Warm the Trader Joe’s flour tortillas in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  - Place a generous spoonful of the scrambled eggs in the center of each tortilla.
  - Add the sautéed veggies and sausage mixture on top.
  - Sprinkle shredded Gruyère & Swiss cheese over the filling.
  - Drizzle with the sweet and spicy Georgia Peach & Vidalia Onion Hot Sauce to add a tangy, fruity kick.
 
4. Wrap it up:
  - Fold in the sides of the tortillas, then roll them up tightly into burritos. You can toast them in the skillet for a crispy finish if you like!

Optional: Burrito Enhancements
- Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
- Include some fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
- For a heartier burrito, add a few slices of avocado or a handful of spinach.

Why I Love This Recipe:
This burrito is not only filling but also packed with quality protein from the eggs, sausage, and cheese.

The Georgia Peach & Vidalia Onion Hot Sauce ties everything together with its subtle sweetness and mild heat, balancing the savory elements beautifully.

Whether you're fueling up before a workout or simply enjoying a cozy weekend breakfast, this burrito is sure to satisfy both your taste buds and nutritional needs. Enjoy!

If you’re looking for a lighter alternative to the Pederson’s smoked sausage, you can easily swap it for **Jones Dairy Farm All Natural Turkey Sausage**. This option provides a leaner source of protein while still delivering great flavor.

One serving of Jones turkey sausage links contains **10g of protein**, helping you stay full and fueled without the added fat. Plus, it’s free from nitrites, nitrates, MSG, and preservatives.
