<ul class="ingredients-main-list">
<li class="ingredients-single-item">4 medium flour tortillas (20cm diameter)</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">6 large eggs</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">250g turkey sausage mince (ground turkey with sausage seasoning)</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1 small green bell pepper, finely diced (about 100g)</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1 small onion, finely diced (about 100g)</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">120g cheddar cheese, grated</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">30ml milk</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1 tsp vegetable oil</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1/2 tsp salt</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1/4 tsp black pepper</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1/4 tsp garlic powder</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1/4 tsp dried oregano</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">1/4 tsp paprika</li>
<li class="ingredients-single-item">Salsa, for serving (optional)</li>
</ul>
<ol class="no-list-style">
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the diced green peppers and onions. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften but still maintain some texture. You want them to have a bit of bite rather than being completely mushy.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Add the turkey sausage mince to the pan with the vegetables. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, making sure to get nice small crumbles rather than large chunks. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, dried oregano, and paprika. Cook for about 5 minutes until the meat is completely cooked through with no pink remaining.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
While the sausage is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy. This will give you fluffy scrambled eggs.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Once the sausage is cooked through, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the pan with the sausage and vegetables. Let it sit for about 30 seconds, then gently fold the eggs with a spatula, allowing the uncooked portions to flow to the bottom of the pan.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Continue cooking, gently folding every 30 seconds or so, until the eggs are almost set but still slightly moist, about 2-3 minutes. They should look soft and glossy rather than dry. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the grated cheese over the mixture, folding it in gently to allow it to melt from the residual heat.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a slightly damp paper towel, and heat them for about 20-30 seconds until warm and pliable. Alternatively, you can warm them one at a time in a dry pan for about 15 seconds per side.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>
Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon approximately one-quarter of the egg and sausage mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla, leaving about 2cm of space on the sides. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as you go to create a neat package.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>
For the authentic McDonald's experience, wrap each burrito in parchment paper and let it sit for about 1 minute. This allows the tortilla to steam slightly and become more pliable. Slice each burrito in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately with salsa on the side for dipping.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>
If you're making these ahead of time, allow the burritos to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in foil or cling film. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove the wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave for 1-2 minutes if refrigerated, or 2-3 minutes if frozen, until heated through.
