Method
 

Make the Avocado-Tomato Salsa
  1. Add avocado, tomatoes, shallot, garlic, and jalapeño to a bowl.
  2. Stir in lime juice, salt, cumin, and cilantro.
  3. Mix gently to keep avocado chunky; set aside.
Prepare Eggs and Sausage
  1. Whisk eggs with smoked paprika and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high. Add sausage and brown, stirring often, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a plate; keep drippings in the pan.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Pour in eggs and scramble until just set and tender.
  5. Transfer eggs to a plate. Wipe the pan clean.
Assemble the Burritos
  1. Lay out tortillas.
  2. Spoon about 1/4 cup salsa onto each tortilla.
  3. Top with one-fourth of the sausage, eggs, and 1/3 cup cheese.
  4. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly, tucking as you go.
Cook the Burritos
  1. Lightly oil the pan and heat over medium.
  2. Cook the breakfast burritos seam side down until golden, about 3 minutes, covered.
  3. Flip and cook the other side until crisp and golden, a few minutes more, covered.
  4. Serve warm and enjoy every melty, crunchy bite.
