Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 2 cups hash browns or diced cooked potatoes
- 1/2 cup fresh salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced bell peppers and onion until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
- Scramble the eggs gently in a skillet over medium heat until just set, being careful not to overcook. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
- Layer scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, hash browns, and shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides and roll each burrito tightly.
- Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper.
- Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, remove foil and microwave for 1–2 minutes if thawed or 2–3 minutes if frozen, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, bake at 350°F until warmed through.
Notes
- Allow cooked ingredients to cool completely before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Serve salsa fresh instead of freezing inside the burritos for best texture.
- Add black beans for extra protein and fiber.
- Use turkey sausage and whole wheat tortillas for a lighter option.
- Include diced jalapeños or hot sauce for added spice.
- Finish reheated burritos in a skillet for a crispy exterior.
- Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
