"I was at the Johnsonvilledotcom site checking something else when I found this tempting recipe. Their only comment was "Some nachos on the side & you've got a fiesta!" All of a sudden a picture came to mind of a patio party w/pitchers of margaritas & a big bowl of guacamole plus trays of nachos & these burritos w/sopapillas & honey for dessert. When a recipe can have that effect on a well-adjusted & well-fed "mature" woman, then it deserves to be shared! Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Mix 1st 9 ingredients & set aside.

Step 2

Prepare brats per pkg directions & set aside, but keep warm.

Step 3

Warm flour tortillas, immediately sprinkle 1 ounce of shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla & top each tortilla w/a warm brat.

Step 4

Generously spoon the sauce/veggie mixture down each side of the brat & roll tortilla to enclose the contents.

Step 5

To Serve: If using 10-12 inch tortillas, you will likely have enough tortilla to fold over 1 or both ends & eat by hand. If using 8 inch tortillas, just roll it up, plan to use a knife & fork & serve w/any remaining sauce. When you taste the sauce, you will want more of it anyway!

Step 6

NOTE: Time does not include time to prepare bratwurst links per pkg directions. Time does include 15 min for veggie prep & 10 min for assembly.

  • When selecting the bell peppers, look for ones that are firm and brightly colored.
  • When selecting the bratwurst, choose your favorite flavor or a milder version for a less spicy burrito.

  • Substitute black beans for bratwurst sausage for a vegetarian option. The benefit of this substitution is that it provides a protein-rich and fiber-filled alternative to the original recipe while still maintaining a flavorful taste.
  • Substitute spinach for bell peppers for a healthier option. The benefit of this substitution is that spinach provides an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can help boost the nutritional value of the dish.
