Variations and Substitutions
- Spicy - add some hot sauce
- Vegetarian - substitute vegetarian sausage or omit the meat entirely, add additional veggies such as mushrooms, zucchini or spinach for a hearty and healthy option.
- More Low-carb - use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas, you can also use egg wraps in place of the low carb tortillas.
- Dairy-free - omit cheese or use dairy-free cheese alternatives such as almond or soy-based cheese.
- Sausage Options - switch up the type of sausage used, I love breakfast sausage but others such as chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner option, or spicy andouille sausage can be added for extra flavor.
- Toppings - get creative with your favorite toppings like avocado, salsa, sour cream, guacamole or even some crispy bacon to add even more flavor and texture to your burrito.
- Customize to Your Taste - feel free to mix and match ingredients and flavors to create your perfect burrito. Don't be afraid to try new combinations and experiment with different spices and seasonings.
