Well, I’m hooked. These Apple Sausage Breakfast Burritos are the yummiest Breakfast Burritos I’ve had so far. It’s a little cheesy, a lot of fluffy eggs and Aidell’s Chicken Breakfast sausage which completely makes the whole meal. I’ve already got my mind whirling with new recipes to use that breakfast sausage in and I’m generally not a very big breakfast meat person. I’m more of a buttermilk pancakes or French toast kind of gal! I’ve had too many flavorless, overly greasy sausages that I kinda just stopped eating it. Then Macey’s was sampling Aidell’s and it was wonderful.
This kind happens to be my favorite, at least so far, because of the extra ingredient…
Apples. The apples add the tiniest bit of a sweet crunch to the breakfast sausage. We love it and it pairs perfectly with the cheesy eggs.
I need to take the time to recreate those potatoes too. They were smoky and wonderful, but I can’t really remember what I did to them. That’s the thing about food blogging, anything that you make you need to be sure to measure and write things down otherwise you forget and you can’t post about it.
Is Apple Sausage Made With Apples?
There are apples in apple sausage.
The apples give a sweet flavor to the sausage.
Can Breakfast Burritos Be Made Ahead?
You Can make breakfast burritos ahead of time and freeze them until you are ready to serve.
Breakfast burritos, made ahead of time are the perfect grab-n-go breakfast choice for busy mornings.
How Do You Freeze Breakfast Burritos?
Prep them ahead of time and stick them in the freezer.
Wrap the breakfast burritos individually in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a heavy duty freezer bag.
When you get up in the morning, grab a burrito, unwrap, stick one in the microwave or oven and heat until hot.
Can You Make Burritos With Corn Tortillas?
You could make burritos with corn tortillas.
Corn tortillas are smaller and not as pliable as flour tortillas, so to make a burrito, warm the tortilla first, so it will roll more easily.
Your burrito will be smaller than a normal burrito.

Apple Sausage Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
Recipe by Me
- 4 Links Sausage, Aidell's Chicken Apple Breakfast
- 6 Sweet Peppers, 2 red, 2 yellow, 2 orange , chopped
- 10 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt, more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 Cup Taco Sauce, Green Chile
- 1 Cup Velveeta Cheese
- 8 Flour Tortillas, Fresh
- Taco Sauce, Green
- Tomatoes, Fresh
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan or medium sized skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is heated, add your breakfast sausage.4 Links Sausage
- Cook until the sausage is beginning to brown and is cooked through.
- Remove to a cutting board, and chop into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Add the peppers into the same pan that you just cooked the breakfast sausage in. The leftover grease will take the place of any oil you would normally add to the pan.6 Sweet Peppers
- Cook for a few minutes until the peppers are soft.
- Remove the peppers to the cutting board to cool for a moment.
- In a medium-large bowl crack the eggs and discard the shells.10 Eggs
- Add the milk, salt, pepper, cilantro and green chile taco sauce.1 Tablespoon Cilantro, 2 Tablespoons Milk, 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Pepper, 1/4 Cup Taco Sauce
- Whisk until everything is well combined. The milk just makes the eggs a bit more creamy and fluffy. You can skip it if you need.
- Add the cheese, sausage, and peppers.1 Cup Velveeta Cheese
- Whisk again to evenly distribute everything.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat.
- Add a small drizzle of oil or spray with cooking spray.
- Add the eggs once the pan is hot and let cook until the bottom and edges or just about set. This will take a few minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, begin moving the eggs around. Push one side over, and then the other, etc. Gently fold the eggs over a little to cook the uncooked egg. Cook another minute or until all of the eggs are set. The eggs should almost look undone. If you cook until everything is separated and no longer shiny you’ll have dry, hard eggs.
- Meanwhile, cook the flour tortillas. Please trust me, the fresh, uncooked tortillas that you cook at home truly are better.8 Flour Tortillas
- Place the eggs in each tortilla and wrap up.
- Serve immediately with a little drizzle of taco sauce, chopped tomatoes and a sprinkling of cilantro.Taco Sauce, Tomatoes

These look so delicious but the recipe calls for Velveeta Cheese and that is definitely not Velveeta in the pictures. What cheese did you use on the burritos in the pictures.
Hey Sherri! The cheese you see in the pictures is grated colby jack cheese. Velveeta is delicious mixed in with eggs!
I make one that is similar. I use pepperoni ànd diced apples and sharp white cheddar instead of velveta.
That sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing, Rodney!
These look delicious!! So this doesn’t have salsa? What brand of taco sauce did you use?
Hi Brigitte! No, it doesn’t have salsa, but you can definitely add salsa if you want. I’m always changing up the taco sauce…whatever looks good or is on sale at the time!
I sooooo want One of These right now!!!
dude, they were soooo good!
This looks so good!! I love when sweet & salty flavors are combined. Thanks for the tips on making scrambled eggs too! I never knew low and slow would also work. Very helpful!
This sounds like an amazing meal no matter the time of day! I love brinner! I can't wait to make these!!
mmm,I'm going to have to look for those sausages!!
