Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Dairy:
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
Wrapping and Seasoning:
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Optional Serving:
- Salsa
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Vigorously whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes uniformly blended and slightly frothy.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding a thin layer of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture into the heated skillet, gently stirring and folding until the eggs are just set but remain creamy and soft, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a separate plate and let them cool slightly.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface, positioning it horizontally.
- Distribute cooked sausage evenly across the bottom third of the tortilla, creating a compact base layer.
- Spoon the softly scrambled eggs directly on top of the sausage, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs to enhance flavor and create a melty texture.
- Carefully roll the tortilla from the bottom upward, folding in the sides to secure the filling and create a tight, compact roll.
- Return the skillet to medium heat, adding additional butter or oil if needed.
- Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until achieving a crisp, golden-brown exterior.
- Remove roll-ups from the skillet, allowing them to rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing diagonally.
- Serve immediately with optional salsa or hot sauce for added zest.
Notes
- Soften tortillas briefly in microwave for easier rolling without cracking.
- Use pre-cooked sausage to save time and reduce overall cooking duration.
- Replace regular tortillas with low-carb or gluten-free alternatives for dietary restrictions.
- Try different cheese types like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for varied flavor profiles.
