Sausage and Peppers is traditionally served on a sandwich roll, such as a hoagie, but as a diabetic, I try to avoid too much white bread. So, I experimented with making a traditional sausage and peppers and wrapping it in a tortilla shell. This simple one skillet dinner turned out pretty darn good.
Ingredients List:
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 lb (or 1 package) of Italian Sausage Link
2 Bell Peppers (Color of your choice - I used green and orange)
1 Lg or 2 Sm Yellow Onions
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
4 cloves Garlic
1 (15oz) can Diced Tomatoes
Brown sausages in heated skillet.
Remove sausages to a plate.
Add Olive Oil to skillet.
Once heated, add sliced onions and peppers.
Add salt, pepper, Italian Seasoning and garlic.
Cook 10 minutes till onions & peppers begin to soften.
Add canned tomatoes to skillet, stir and cook 5 more minutes till tomatoes are heated through
Add sausages back to skillet. Nestle the sausages into the veggies and sauce, and cook for another 5 minutes, just to reheat the sausages.
Pile sausage and peppers onto a tortilla with a sausage nestled on top. Wrap tortilla burrito style.
You can add any toppings you like to the burrito. Cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. Personally, I put sour cream on mine... The Man added some Red Pepper Flakes.
Do you think these would freeze well? Always looking for possible 'make-ahead-and-freeze' grab & go meals. -AJ
