04 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and chili powder if using.
05 - Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet over medium-low heat. Stir gently until eggs are softly set but still moist. Remove from heat.
06 - Microwave tortillas for 20 seconds to make them pliable for rolling.
07 - Lay each tortilla flat and layer scrambled eggs, sausage and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
08 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to enclose the filling.
09 - Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper, then place in a freezer-safe bag for storage.
10 - To reheat, microwave an unwrapped burrito for 1 to 2 minutes or bake in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes from frozen.
