Preheat the oven to 400°F and warm the tortillas for about 10 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and add breakfast sausage, breaking it up as it cooks.

Once the sausage is cooked, remove it from the pan and add chopped onions, bell peppers, and garlic, cooking until softened.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and a splash of milk, adding a pinch of salt.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked vegetables and scramble until the eggs are set.

For assembly, place the egg mixture, sausage, and toppings like black beans, potatoes, and cheese onto a tortilla.

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly.

Wrap burritos in foil if freezing, or place seam side down on a baking sheet to melt the cheese in the oven.
