Bed And Breakfast Tortillas are flavorful breakfast wraps filled with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese, wrapped in warm tortillas with a spicy kick—perfect for a hearty morning meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring to crumble; drain and set aside.
- Add eggs to the skillet and scramble until set.
- Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- When eggs are cooked, add the sausage back to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the mixture.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds each, one at a time.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of picante sauce down the center of each tortilla.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using spicy sausage or adding diced bell peppers and onions to the egg mixture. If you prefer a milder taste, swap out the Cheddar for Monterey Jack cheese. To save time, pre-cook the sausage and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days before making the tortillas. This dish is versatile and can be adapted to fit various Mexican recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast tortillas are perfect for a brunch gathering and pair well with fresh fruit or a side of hash browns. Serve with additional picante sauce or sour cream for dipping. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a refreshing green salad. They also make for a great grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave individual tortillas for 30-45 seconds or until warmed through. For a crispier tortilla, reheat in a skillet for a few minutes on each side until heated and slightly crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these tortillas ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the egg and sausage mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat before assembling the tortillas. The tortillas can also be warmed up individually, making it easy to enjoy this dish whenever you want.
What can I use instead of pork sausage?
If you want a healthier option, you can substitute turkey or chicken sausage. For a vegetarian version, use crumbled tofu seasoned with spices or a plant-based sausage alternative. This will provide a similar texture while keeping the dish meat-free.
Can I freeze these breakfast tortillas?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled tortillas. Wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the microwave or skillet before serving.
