Alright, let’s talk ingredients! You’ll need 6 large eggs—trust me, large is the way to go for a good, hearty filling. Then grab 1/4 cup of milk (any kind works!). Don’t forget your salt and pepper to taste! For cooking, you’ll want 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Now for the good stuff: 1/2 cup of cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled – I like the spicy kind!

How to Make High-Protein Breakfast Burritos: Step-by-Step Instructions
Okay, people, let’s get cooking! These **high-protein breakfast burritos** are super easy to make, I promise. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be chowing down in no time!
Preparing the High-Protein Breakfast Burrito Filling
First things first, grab a bowl and whisk together those 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, and a dash of salt and pepper. Don’t be shy with the pepper! Now, heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once it’s nice and hot (careful, it splatters!), pour in your egg mixture. Cook it, scrambling it all around, until it’s set but still a little soft. Then, stir in that yummy cooked sausage and cheddar cheese. Mmm, starting to smell good, right?
Assembling Your High-Protein Breakfast Burritos
Now for the fun part! Warm up those flour tortillas. I usually just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds, but you can also warm them in a dry skillet. Trust me, a warm tortilla is key – it’s way easier to fold. Next, divide that egg mixture evenly among your tortillas. Don’t overfill them, or you’ll have a mess on your hands! To fold, bring in the sides of the tortilla towards the middle, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Ta-da! You made a burrito!
Serving and Enjoying Your High-Protein Breakfast Burritos
Alright, these **high-protein breakfast burritos** are best served immediately, while they’re still warm and gooey. Grab your favorite toppings – I’m talking salsa, avocado, sour cream… the works! And enjoy every single bite. You deserve it!
Tips for the Best High-Protein Breakfast Burritos
Want to take your **high-protein breakfast burritos** to the next level? Here’s my secret: don’t overcook the eggs! They should be soft and creamy, not rubbery. Also, to avoid soggy burritos (yuck!), make sure your sausage isn’t too greasy. Pat it dry with a paper towel before adding it to the eggs. And finally, warm tortillas are a MUST! They’re easier to fold and taste way better. Trust me on this one!
High-Protein Breakfast Burrito Variations
Okay, so you’ve mastered the basic **high-protein breakfast burrito**. Now let’s get crazy! Seriously, the possibilities are endless. Swap out the sausage for crispy bacon (duh!), chorizo for a spicy kick, or even leftover shredded chicken. Veggie lover? Load ’em up with bell peppers, onions, spinach, or black beans. And don’t even get me started on cheese! Pepper jack? Monterey Jack? Go wild! It’s *your* burrito, after all!
Serving Suggestions for Your High-Protein Breakfast Burritos
So, you’ve got your amazing **high-protein breakfast burrito**, but what else goes with it? Honestly, they’re pretty filling on their own! But if you want to make it a *real* meal, I suggest a side of fresh fruit – berries, melon, whatever looks good! Or, if you’re feeling fancy, a little side salad with a light vinaigrette works wonders. Just sayin’!
