In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and grated Monterey Jack cheese, mixing thoroughly until smooth. Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the Bob Evans maple sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced red or green pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender. Drain any excess oil from the skillet.

To assemble each burrito, place a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto the tortilla. Spoon a portion of the sausage and egg mixture on top.
