- Warm tortillas: Heat tortillas in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel, or toast in a dry skillet until pliable.
- Assemble Bo-Ritos: Lay a tortilla flat. Add a generous layer of Bo-Rounds, scrambled eggs, sausage, Monterey Jack cheese, and a spoonful of hot sausage gravy. Fold the sides and roll up burrito-style.
