4 large whole-wheat tortillas
One 10-ounce package fully cooked breakfast sausage links (I like Jimmy Dean's turkey sausage)
6 large eggs (or substitute 6 large egg whites)
1/4 cup chives, finely chopped
3 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup Pineapple Avocado Salsa, recipe follows
4 lime wedges
Hot sauce, optional
2/3 cup grape tomatoes, chopped (10 to 12)
3/4 cup finely chopped pineapple
3 medium avocados, diced
1/2 finely chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
1/8 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and heat in the oven until warmed through and softened, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, using kitchen shears, cut the sausage links into 1/4-inch pieces. Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add the sausage and heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through, about 4 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the chives, milk, salt, and pepper.
In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the egg mixture, and using a rubber spatula, push the eggs toward the center of the pan until the mixture is no longer runny. Add the cheese and gently toss until cooked to desired consistency.
Divide the eggs evenly among the tortillas. Top with sausage and 2 tablespoons of the prepared Avocado Pineapple Salsa. Squeeze a lime wedge over the salsa, and add a dash of hot sauce if desired.
Starting from one end, roll the tortilla once, then fold in the sides and continue rolling until fully enclosed.
Combine the tomatoes, pineapple, avocados, onion, cilantro, lime juice, red pepper flakes and garlic salt in a medium bowl. Add black pepper to taste.
