breakfast burritos

i just have to add this one; we've made this twice in two weeks. it's not your plain-jane breakfast burrito but it's still incredibly, ridiculously easy. of course it's from the cook's country fools because they manage to refine simple and delicious cooking. hallelujah! my notes of what we've played around with are at the end. 

8 large eggs
1/4 C half & half (or milk)
1/2 tsp table salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tsp veg oil **
6 oz chorizo sausage, chopped medium **
1 red onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 jalapeno, seeded & finely minced
1 TB unsalted butter **
1 1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
3 scallions, sliced thin **
flour tortillas (8"-9")

whisk the eggs, half & half, salt & pepper together; set aside. heat oil in a large skillet and brown the sausage. add onion, bell pepper & jalapeno, cooking until softened. transfer sausage mixture to a bowl & keep warm. wipe out the skillet, melt the butter, add the eggs. fold/scramble the eggs. when almost cooked, add cheese and incorporate into eggs. fold sausage mixture back into skillet with the eggs. heat tortillas in microwave (~20 seconds). and get our burrito on!

** we used ground hot italian sausage (it came in a 12 oz pkg and we froze the other half). we just cooked it like you might ground beef or turkey. we did not use the oil in the skillet to brown the sausage (seems unnecessary to me, but we have non-stick pans). i chopped the veggies while brandon cooked the sausage & whisked the eggs. we did not add butter to the skillet before the eggs, but i'm sure that would be tasty (we didn't miss it). lastly, we did not incorporate the scallions (mostly because i forgot) and again, didn't miss anything. normally we'd use salsa and sour cream with breakfast burritos, but these are incredibly tasty on their own. in fact, i tried a bite with salsa and it took away from the burrito deliciousness.

whip these babies up using whatever type of sausage your family likes. the jalapenos (if they're seeded) are not spicy; they just add more flavor. seriously, ladies, these are delicious and you all know how i feel about sausage.
