Equipment
- large skillet
- mixing bowl
- whisk
- spatula
- measuring cups and spoons
- aluminum foil or parchment paper
- freezer-safe storage bag
Ingredients
- 12 large flour tortillas
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (or cooked, crumbled bacon)
- 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper, to taste
- diced bell pepper or onion (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain any excess grease.
- In the same skillet, cook the thawed hash browns for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt the butter in the skillet and cook the eggs until just set, leaving them slightly soft.
- Warm the tortillas slightly, then fill each with scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, cheddar cheese, and optional diced bell pepper or onion.
- Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla into a tight burrito. Allow them to cool completely to room temperature before wrapping.
- Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper, then place them into a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat from frozen by microwaving an unwrapped burrito for 2–3 minutes, or bake wrapped in foil at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes
Allow the burritos to cool completely before wrapping to prevent condensation and sogginess. Freeze individually wrapped burritos for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the microwave, oven, or air fryer for an easy breakfast.
