- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2–3 yellow potatoes (about 400g), diced

Additional Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, whisked
- 6–8 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- Optional toppings: hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, avocado, fresh cilantro
Recipe
Step 1: Roast the Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the diced potatoes, bell peppers, and onion on a large sheet pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything together.
- Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables soften and start to brown.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
- While the vegetables are roasting, mix the ground beef or turkey with the seasoning blend.
- Once the vegetables are softened, spread the seasoned meat evenly over them.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and slightly browned.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Cheese
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and pour the eggs evenly over the cooked sausage and vegetables.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and place the pan back in the oven.
- Bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 4: Assemble the Burritos
- Cut the baked egg and sausage mixture into equal portions.
- Place each portion onto a warm tortilla, adding any desired toppings such as hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, or avocado.
- Fold and roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito.
Step 5: Serve or Store
Enjoy these burritos immediately, or store them for later. If meal prepping, wrap each burrito in foil and refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for 1–2 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
