Sauté diced green bell pepper, minced garlic, and diced onion in a pan over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes.

In a separate pan, brown 1 pound of ground sausage, using a potato masher to break it up.

Once browned, drain excess fat from the sausage onto a paper towel.

In the same pan as the vegetables, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add 8 eggs and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Scramble the eggs, adding a little water for fluffiness.

Mix the browned sausage and sautéed vegetables into the scrambled eggs.

Melt 8 ounces of Velveeta cheese with 1/4 cup of salsa in the microwave, then pour it over the egg mixture and stir.

Let the mixture cool, then refrigerate it for later use in breakfast burritos.

To assemble, heat flour tortillas in the microwave for 12 seconds, spoon the egg mixture onto the center, and roll them up.
