This dish is not only easy to make but also incredibly versatile. It’s perfect for a quick morning meal or can even be prepped ahead for busy days.

Ingredients:
1 large flour tortilla
2 breakfast sausage links (or 1/4 cup of crumbled sausage)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: salsa, hot sauce, avocado, or chopped onions
Instructions:
Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links (or crumbled sausage) until browned and cooked through. If using links, remove the casing and crumble the sausage into small pieces. Set aside.
Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet. Stir occasionally until scrambled and cooked to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.
Assemble the wrap: Warm the tortilla in the same skillet or microwave for a few seconds. Place the scrambled eggs in the center of the tortilla, followed by the cooked sausage, and top with shredded cheese.
Roll the wrap: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap.
Toast the wrap (optional): If you prefer a crispy wrap, place it seam-side down on the skillet for 1-2 minutes, flipping it once, until golden brown.
Serve: Slice in half and enjoy your Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Wrap!
Description:
The Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Wrap is the ultimate breakfast-on-the-go, bringing together the rich flavors of sausage, eggs, and cheese all wrapped in a warm tortilla. The combination of textures—from the tender eggs to the crispy tortilla—offers a satisfying breakfast experience. It’s quick, customizable, and can be made with a variety of ingredients based on your preferences.
Tips:
For a healthier version: Opt for turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage substitute. You can also use egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites for a lighter dish.
Make ahead: Prepare the sausage and eggs ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and quickly assemble your wrap in the morning.
Add extra flavor: Consider adding some chopped bell peppers, onions, or even spinach to boost the flavor and nutritional value.
Use different cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even a creamy cheese like goat cheese for a unique twist.
Variations:
Vegetarian Wrap: Replace sausage with plant-based sausage or sautéed vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach, and peppers.
Spicy Wrap: Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
Bacon Version: Swap the sausage for crispy bacon to give the wrap a smokier flavor.
Southwest Wrap: Add salsa, guacamole, and black beans to the wrap for a southwestern flair.
Correction:
If you prefer your eggs extra fluffy, try using a splash of milk or cream while whisking the eggs before cooking. This will give them a softer, lighter texture.
Enjoy:
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this satisfying, comforting breakfast wrap to start your day right!
