Description

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Pinch of paprika or garlic powder (optional)
  • Chopped jalapeños or hot sauce (for spicy version)
  • Vegetarian substitutes: sautéed mushrooms or seasoned tofu
  • Additional veggies: diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach
  • Alternative cheeses: pepper jack, mozzarella
  • Alternative wraps: whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble the ground sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat to keep the roll-ups from getting greasy.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet, then pour in the eggs. Stir gently and cook until just set but still soft and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Warm the tortillas briefly to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat, then layer with cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese. Roll tightly to encase the filling securely.
  4. Optional Sear: For added texture and flavor, place the assembled roll-ups back into the skillet seam-side down. Cook over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until the tortilla develops a golden, crispy exterior and cheese melts completely inside.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook eggs: Remove from heat just before fully set to keep them tender and moist.
  • Use warm tortillas: Heating them for a few seconds prevents cracking and eases rolling.
  • Drain sausage fat well: Removes excess grease to avoid soggy roll-ups.
  • Seal edges firmly: Keeps fillings inside and prevents spills during eating.
  • Customize cheese melting: Cover skillet briefly with a lid during searing to melt cheese perfectly.
