Ingredients
- 4 Toulouse sausages, from Maillard
- 4 slices of bacon (optional)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 big red or orange bell pepper, diced
- 6 eggs, slightly beaten
- 4 tortillas of 9-10 inches in diameter
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
- Pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Remove the sausages’ casings to keep only the meat. In a big pan, over medium-high heat, crumble and golden the sausage meat. When it’s well cooked, remove from heat and reserve in a plate. Throw out most of the fat, keeping only about 1 tablespoon.
- In the same pan, golden the onion and bell peppers over medium heat. Pepper to taste. Once the vegetables are tender, add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring a few times, until the eggs are scrambled.
- Cook the bacon in the microwave: place the 4 slices between two paper towels, inside a plate, and cook for 1min30 at high power. Check for doneness and cook 30 seconds more if necessary.
- Place a tortilla on the work surface. On the middle, add 1/2 cup of baby spinach. Add 1/4 of the sausage meat, 1/4 of the eggs, and if desired, 1 slice of bacon and/or 1/4 of grated cheddar. Fold the sides of the tortilla, and roll while pressing the content of the burrito.
- Rinse the pan and heat it over medium. Without adding any fat, golden the burritos on each side.
- *Note: The burritos can be kept for 4 days in the refrigerator – just warm in the small oven before serving. They can also be frozen for 3 months, wrapped in aluminum foil and kept in a sealed bag or container.
