Yield: 4 burritos

Ingredients

  1. 4 large whole-wheat tortillas
  2. One 10-ounce package fully cooked breakfast sausage links (I like Jimmy Dean’s turkey sausage)
  3. 6 large eggs (or substitute 6 large egg whites)
  4. 1/4 cup chives, finely chopped
  5. 3 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
  6. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  7. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  8. 2 tablespoons salted butter
  9. 4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
  10. 1/2 cup Pineapple Avocado Salsa, recipe follows
  11. 4 lime wedges
  12. Hot sauce, optional
  13. 2/3 cup grape tomatoes, chopped (10 to 12)
  14. 3/4 cup finely chopped pineapple
  15. 3 medium avocados, diced
  16. 1/2 finely chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
  17. 1/8 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  18. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  19. 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  20. 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  21. Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  2. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and heat in the oven until warmed through and softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, using kitchen shears, cut the sausage links into 1/4-inch pieces. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add the sausage and heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through, about 4 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the chives, milk, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the egg mixture, and using a rubber spatula, push the eggs toward the center of the pan until the mixture is no longer runny. Add the cheese and gently toss until cooked to desired consistency.
  5. Divide the eggs evenly among the tortillas. Top with sausage and 2 tablespoons of the prepared Avocado Pineapple Salsa. Squeeze a lime wedge over the salsa, and add a dash of hot sauce if desired.
  6. Starting from one end, roll the tortilla once, then fold in the sides and continue rolling until fully enclosed.
  7. Combine the tomatoes, pineapple, avocados, onion, cilantro, lime juice, red pepper flakes and garlic salt in a medium bowl. Add black pepper to taste.

I tried freezing Avacodo once and it make them very mushy and dark
Dr. Kyle Moore
Can’t wait to try it.  I’m sure it’s worth 5 stars!  I wonder if I can make these ahead and freeze them?  The only reason I ask is because of the avocado.  I’m not sure if they freeze well.  Anyone have an answer?
