instructions
    1

    Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is browned and cooked through.

    2

    While the sausage cooks, crack 4 eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until combined.

    3

    Once the sausage is cooked, push it to the side of the skillet and pour the egg mixture into the empty side. Cook the eggs gently, stirring occasionally, until they are scrambled and just set, usually about 3 to 4 minutes.

    4

    Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet and stir everything together until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.

    5

    Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them pliable.

    6

    Spoon the sausage and egg mixture evenly onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly to form burritos.

    7

    Serve your burritos warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
