# Directions:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove sausage and set aside; drain excess fat if needed.
02 - In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and paprika. Pour eggs into the skillet with vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until just set.
04 - Return cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.
05 - Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
06 - Divide egg mixture evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle each with shredded cheese. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form burritos.
07 - Wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
08 - Microwave refrigerated burritos for 1–2 minutes or frozen burritos for 3–4 minutes until heated through. Serve with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They reheat beautifully without getting soggy or rubbery
  • The filling stays perfectly portioned so every bite tastes balanced
  • Having eight ready to grab breakfasts changes your whole week
02 -
  • Let the filling cool before rolling or steam will make your tortillas soggy
  • Do not overfill the burritos or they will burst open when you try to wrap them
  • Freeze them flat on a baking sheet first so they do not stick together
03 -
  • Double wrap frozen burritos to prevent freezer burn
  • Label with the date so you use the oldest ones first
