Instructions
-
Step 1:
Whisk eggs with smoked paprika and salt in a medium bowl. (Tips: Avoid over whisking to prevent loss of the eggs' natural texture.)
-
Step 2:
Cook sausage in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a plate. (Tips: Use a slotted spoon to leave drippings in the pan.)
-
Step 3:
Reduce heat to low, add eggs, and scramble until cooked through. Transfer eggs to a plate. (Tips: Be careful not to overcook to keep the eggs moist.)
-
Step 4:
Assemble burritos by adding ¼ cup avocado-salsa, a quarter of sausage and eggs, and ⅓ cup cheese on each tortilla. Fold and roll the burritos. (Tips: Ensure tight rolling to prevent filling from falling out during cooking.)
-
Step 5:
Cook burritos seam side down in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat, covered, until golden, about 3 minutes per side. (Tips: Press gently with a spatula for even browning.)
Additional Information
Notes: To make ahead, assemble burritos, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes if needed.
