Tips
- Don’t overfill: Too much filling makes rolling hard and causes blowouts.
- Soft-scramble eggs: Slightly undercook so they stay tender after reheating.
- Cheese “glue” trick: Put cheese under and over the filling—when it melts, it helps seal everything.
- Seam-side down first: This seals the tortilla and keeps it from unrolling.
- Avoid sogginess: Drain sausage and any salsa/veg well before adding.
- Meal prep win: Freeze individually so you can grab exactly what you need.
