How To Make: Breakfast Burritos (vacation scenes)

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Monterey jack is often less expensive and melts well.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Plain yogurt provides similar creaminess with fewer calories.

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Corn tortillas are often cheaper and gluten-free.

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey chorizo

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Pork sausage is usually less expensive than chorizo.

Fry 1 pound of sausage in a skillet until crumbled.

Add chopped onions and diced red bell pepper to the sausage and cook until softened.

Beat 11 or 12 eggs with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet with the sausage mixture.

Stir the eggs until cooked through, ensuring they don't stick to the skillet.

Prepare an assembly line with flour tortillas and spoon the egg and sausage mixture onto each tortilla.

Top the mixture with cheese, then fold the tortillas closed, seam side down on a plate.

Melt butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Once the butter is melted, lay the burritos seam side down in the pan and brown them for about a minute on each side.

Remove the burritos from the pan once they are barely brown and sealed on the edges.

Serve the burritos with salsa and sour cream.
