Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 oz sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the diced potatoes with a pinch of salt until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, about 10-12 minutes.
- Cook the Sausage: In the same skillet or a separate one, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess grease if necessary.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring until they are softly scrambled and fully cooked.
- Combine Fillings: Mix the cooked potatoes, sausage, and scrambled eggs together in the skillet to combine evenly and warm through for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble Burritos: Warm tortillas slightly in a dry pan or microwave. Spoon the filling mixture evenly onto each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
- Wrap Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- To make it spicier, consider adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- You can prepare fillings in advance and assemble burritos fresh to save time in the morning.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary preferences.
- Reheat burritos wrapped in foil in the oven or microwave for a quick meal.
