- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Add cooked sausage, cheeses, onion, bell pepper, and cilantro to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
- Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
- Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil.
- Place burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, remove foil and plastic wrap. Wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
Notes
- You can customize the fillings with your favorite ingredients like potatoes or black beans.
- Ensure burritos are completely cooled before wrapping for freezing to prevent ice crystals.
- For a crispier exterior, you can pan-fry or bake the thawed burritos.
