Ingredients
  • 500g Moroccan lamb sausages, sliced

  • 250g streaky bacon, chopped

  • 1 small red onion, diced

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1–2 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2–3 large flour tortillas

  • 50g shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

  • Fresh coriander or parsley, chopped (optional)

  • Optional: harissa or hot sauce

Cooking Instructions


  1. Cook the bacon and sausages:

    • Fry the chopped bacon until crispy. Add the sliced sausages and cook until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

  2. Sauté the veggies:

    • Cook diced onion and bell pepper in the same pan until softened.

  3. Scramble the eggs:

    • Beat the eggs with milk, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

    • Pour over the veggies and scramble until just set.

  4. Assemble the burritos:

    • Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.

    • Divide eggs, sausages, bacon, and cheese between tortillas. Add herbs or harissa if desired.

    • Fold the sides over and roll tightly.

  5. Freeze for later:

    • Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag.

    • Label with the date; store for up to 1 month.

  6. Reheat from frozen:

    • Microwave: Remove wrapping, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway.

    • Oven: Keep foil on and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes until heated through.


Pro tip: If you want a crispy tortilla after freezing, lightly toast it in a pan after reheating.
