1/4 cup milk
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded colby jack cheese

Directions:
Crumble and cook the sausage in a large skillet until brown. Drain grease, place sausage on paper towel-lined plate, cover and set aside. If using precooked patties, brown in large skillet cook until heated through.
In a medium bowl crack in 10 eggs, add milk, salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, pour in beaten egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until mostly set and no longer runny.
Stir in sausage, then remove from heat.

Add an 1/8 of the egg and sausage mixture to the middle of a tortilla, top with some cheese, fold in sides of tortilla, fold over bottom closest to you, and roll upwards away from you.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Place burrito in pan, and cook for about 1 minute per side or until golden brown.
