This is no understatement when it is called The Ultimate Breakfast Burrito. It has a great mix of scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon and sausage gravy. I suggest you find the extra large flour tortillas because you will want to stuff these burritos as much as you can fill. Did you see we said sausage gravy???
What kind of milk do you use to make sausage gravy?
This is actually personal preference on what kind of milk you use for your gravy. I like to use whole milk when making sausage gravy because it gives the richest flavor. Other options that you can try using is skim, 2%, heavy cream, water or beef, chicken or vegetable stock. Keep in mind that whatever you choose to use will change the flavor of your gravy. Also, if you choose to use stock, taste the gravy before you season with salt as some stocks are already high in sodium.
