Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 pounds breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or a blend)
- 8 pieces flour tortillas (10 inches)
- 2 cups cooked hash browns or diced potatoes
- 1 tablespoons butter or oil
- 8 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and crumble the breakfast sausage into it. Cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In the same skillet, add the butter or oil. Once melted, add the cooked hash browns or diced potatoes and cook until they are golden and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook the eggs, stirring gently with a spatula until they are just set and scrambled, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer 2-3 tablespoons of cooked sausage, 2-3 tablespoons of scrambled eggs, a few tablespoons of crispy potatoes, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a burrito. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Wrap each burrito tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil. If freezing, place the wrapped burritos in a resealable freezer-safe bag or container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat from frozen, unwrap the burrito from foil, place it on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C), wrapped in foil, for 20-25 minutes.
Serve immediately or enjoy on the go!
