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.
