Burrito Wrap

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 7-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Once the sausage is cooked, add the diced green bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cheesy Filling

    Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and well combined. Set aside.

Assembling the Burrito

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas until they are pliable, about 20-30 seconds in the microwave.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a generous scoop of the sausage and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with marinara sauce and sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.

  3. 7

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with all tortillas.

Cooking

  1. 8

    Heat the Burritos

    In the same skillet used for the sausage, place the burritos seam-side down. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
