Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs
Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl, adding the milk, and whisking them together until well combined. This step is crucial for fluffy eggs, so make sure to get some air in there!

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until they’re tender, about 5-7 minutes. This is where the magic begins! The smell will get your taste buds tingling!
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the veggies. Stir gently, allowing the eggs to cook slowly. Season with salt and pepper as they cook. You want them to be soft and fluffy, not overcooked.
Step 4: Add the Sausage and Cheese
Once the eggs are nearly done, stir in the cooked sausage and cheese. Cook for another minute or two until the cheese is melted and everything is warmed through. Wow, the aroma is incredible!
Step 5: Assemble the Burritos
Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the filling in the center. Add a dollop of salsa for that extra zing! Fold in the sides and roll it up from the bottom. Make sure to keep it tight so nothing spills out!
