Recipe Card

Servings: 6–8 burritos Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 large flour tortillas

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (or bacon), cooked and crumbled

  • 2 cups frozen hash browns (or diced cooked potatoes)

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup milk

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

  • Salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the pan.

  2. Cook the Potatoes: Add hash browns to the same skillet and cook until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside with the sausage.

  3. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in the skillet, pour in the egg mixture, and scramble gently until just set.

  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay out each tortilla and add a scoop of eggs, sausage, potatoes, and a sprinkle of cheese.

  5. Roll It Up: Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly into a burrito.

  6. Serve or Store: Serve warm with salsa or hot sauce — or wrap each burrito in foil and refrigerate or freeze for later.

Freezer Instructions

  • To Freeze: Let burritos cool completely, then wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

  • To Reheat: Microwave for 1–2 minutes (unwrapped) or reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.

Tips for Perfect Breakfast Burritos

  • Swap sausage for ham, bacon, or chorizo for variety.

  • Add veggies like peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

  • Use pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese for a little spice.

  • Keep a batch in the freezer for easy grab-and-go breakfasts!
