Instructions
Preparation
- In a 12-inch skillet, add a small amount of butter or spray the skillet well with oil.
- Sauté the spinach in the skillet until it becomes tender, then remove it from the skillet.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the tortilla and place it in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, or until it is lightly browned. Remove the tortilla from the skillet.
- Scramble the eggs in the skillet until cooked through.
- Assemble the burrito by adding the sautéed spinach, sausage, and scrambled eggs to the warm tortilla.

Notes
Serve the burrito warm, either on a plate or wrapped in parchment paper for an on-the-go breakfast. Pair it with salsa, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor. For added flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or paprika to the eggs while scrambling. If you are short on time, prepare the sausage and spinach ahead of time and store them in the fridge.
