Notes
- Warm tortillas so they bend without cracking. A damp paper towel in the microwave for 10–15 seconds works well.
- Cook eggs gently over medium heat until just set and glossy.
- Use a large skillet and reuse it for sausage, veggies, then eggs to keep cleanup easy.
- Reheat smart: air fryer 350°F for 3–5 minutes (thawed); oven 350°F for 12–15 minutes; stovetop low with a lid until hot and crisp; microwave 30–60 seconds, then finish in a hot skillet if you want a crispy tortilla.
- Batch like a pro: make 8–12 at once, wrap well, label with the date and quick reheat notes.
