Bradshaw Breakfast Burritos

Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients:
8 large eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half (or milk)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tps vegetable oil
6 ounces chorizo sausage (or breakfast sausage)
1 red onion, chopped fine
1 red bell pepper, chopped medium
1 jalapeno chile, minced
t tbs unsalted butter
6 ounces (1 and half cups) cheddar cheese shredded
3 scallions, sliced thin
6 tortillas
1 cup sour cream (optional)
1 cup salsa (optional)

Directions:
Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper.

Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook until lightly browned, and 1 and half minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, and halapeno and continue to cook until they ahve softened and are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage mixture to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm.

Wipe the skillet clean and return to the heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, swirling to coat the pan. Add the eggs and cook while gently pushing, lifting, and folding them from one side to the other until they are nicely clumped, shiny, and wet, about 2 minutes.

Quickly fold in cheddar and scallions, then remove the mixture from the pan. Fold in the sausage mixture. Distribute mixture to warm tortillas and serve immediately. Top with sour cream and salsa.
