- For the Avocado Pico de Gallo: Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix to combine. Taste and adjust salt, if needed. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with garlic powder and paprika. Set aside. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage along with the garlic and cook, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage from the pan to a plate, leaving the drippings in the pan. Reduce the heat to low. Add the eggs and scramble until cooked through. Transfer the eggs to a plate.
How to Assemble
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds to make them nice and soft. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Divide half the cheese among the tortillas, placing it on the upper half of each. Top each tortilla with a quarter of the sausage, a quarter of the scrambled eggs, followed by ¼ cup of the Pico de Gallo mixture and the remaining cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll, tucking in the edges as you go.
- Lightly coat the pan with oil and set over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the Sausage Breakfast Burritos, seam side down, and sear for a few seconds on each side. Serve warm. Enjoy!
