# Steps:
01 -
Cook ground sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break the meat into crumbles with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain and discard excess grease if necessary.
02 -
Add diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Cook with the sausage until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
03 -
Transfer the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
04 -
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble gently until set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
05 -
Add the cooked scrambled eggs to the bowl with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Stir gently to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
06 -
Spoon approximately 0.5 cup of the sausage and egg mixture onto the center of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle each with shredded cheddar cheese.
07 -
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to seal, placing the seam side down.
08 -
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam side down and brown each side for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden and crisp.
09 -
Transfer burritos to warm plates and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
To prevent sogginess, ensure the filling is not overly moist before wrapping. Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream if desired.
