  • 1 large tortilla
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: salsa, avocado, or hot sauce

Directions :

  1. In a skillet, cook the crispy hash browns until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs seasoned with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the cooked sausage to the eggs and mix well.
  4. Lay the tortilla flat and layer the hash browns, egg and sausage mixture, and cheese.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to create a burrito.
  6. Optionally, warm the burrito in the skillet to melt the cheese and warm the tortilla.
  7. Serve with salsa, avocado, or hot sauce if desired.

how to serve Breakfast Burrito

Serve the burrito hot. Cut it in half to share or eat whole. Add salsa, slices of avocado, or a dash of hot sauce on the side. A fork and napkin help if fillings are soft.

how to store Breakfast Burrito

Wrap cooled burritos in foil or plastic wrap. Put them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or microwave. If frozen, thaw in the fridge first or reheat from frozen on low power then finish in a skillet.

tips to make Breakfast Burrito

  • Cook hash browns until they are crisp to avoid a soggy burrito.
  • Use warm tortillas so they fold without cracking.
  • Drain excess grease from sausage before adding to eggs.
  • Add a little cheese inside and a little on top before warming for extra melt.
  • Season eggs lightly; the sausage and cheese add salt.

variation (if any)

  • Veggie: skip sausage and add sautéed peppers, onions, and spinach.
  • Bacon: swap sausage for cooked, crumbled bacon.
  • Spice: add chopped jalapeño or use pepper jack cheese.
  • Breakfast bowl: skip the tortilla and serve ingredients in a bowl.
