Cold mornings call for a hot, satisfying breakfast. Whether it’s a slow weekend when everyone sleeps in or a hectic weekday where people are rushing out the door, a hearty and nutritious meal sets the tone for the day. These SweeTango Chicken-Sausage Breakfast Burritos combine savory and sweet for a filling morning option that’s easy to prepare and delicious to eat. Made with SweeTango® apples, lean chicken sausage, and butternut squash, this recipe adds flavor and nutrition to your breakfast routine.
Make Breakfast Unique with SweeTango Chicken-Sausage Breakfast Burritos
SweeTango® apples stand out for their crisp, juicy texture and bright flavor profile with hints of citrus, honey, and spice. They work beautifully in both sweet and savory recipes, and here they add a pleasant crunch and subtle sweetness that balances the savory sausage and roasted squash. Available from late summer through fall, SweeTango® apples are versatile and tasty when sliced, baked, or mixed into warm dishes like these breakfast burritos.
Beyond flavor, apples bring nutrition: they’re fat- and cholesterol-free and contribute to heart and gut health. Paired with lean, fully cooked chicken sausage and fiber-rich butternut squash, these burritos are a more nutritious twist on a classic breakfast wrap—satisfying, flavorful, and something you can feel good serving to your family.
This recipe is featured in the eBook SweeTango® for ALL Eating Occasions, which includes additional recipes highlighting the apple’s unique flavors.
Rolling These Burritos
The recipe is prepared in two steps. First, you combine and cook the filling so flavors meld and ingredients develop some color. The combination of tender squash, browned chicken sausage, and crisp SweeTango® apple pieces creates a pleasing contrast in texture. Next, assemble and tightly wrap the burritos, then bake them briefly on a sheet pan so the tortillas hold their shape and the filling stays warm and ready to eat.
SweeTango Chicken-Sausage Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
- 2 SweeTango apple finely diced
- 4 fully precooked chicken sausage links
- 2 cups butternut squash frozen, cubed
- 1 cup red pepper finely chopped
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 wheat flour tortillas or Flatout flatbreads
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
Core and finely dice the SweeTango apples.
-
Slice the sausages into 1/4-inch rounds, then quarter those rounds.
-
Cut the butternut squash into 1/2-inch cubes if not already cubed.
-
Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook the diced apples, sausage pieces, butternut squash, and red pepper, stirring occasionally, until the sausage and squash begin to brown, about 6–7 minutes.
-
Add the eggs to the skillet and season with sage, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook until the eggs are fully set.
-
Lay the tortillas flat, sprinkle each with shredded cheese, then distribute the apple-and-sausage mixture over the cheese.
-
Fold the short ends of each tortilla toward the center, then fold in the long sides to form a tightly closed burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
-
Place the burritos seam-side down on a lined baking sheet and bake 10–15 minutes to warm through and help them hold their shape.
-
Serve hot and enjoy.
