Ingredients:
- 1 package frozen southern-style hash brown potatoes
- 12 eggs
- 1 onion
- 1 green pepper
- 1/2 lb bulk pork sausage
- 12 flour tortillas
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
-
In a large skillet, fry the hash browns according to package directions until golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside for later use.
-
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined. Add in the diced onions and green pepper, stirring to incorporate the vegetables into the egg mixture.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet used for frying the hash browns. Cook and stir the eggs over medium heat until they are fully set and scrambled. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.
-
To the skillet with the cooked eggs, add the previously prepared hash browns and the bulk pork sausage. Gently mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly combined, creating a flavorful breakfast filling.
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray to prevent the burritos from sticking.
-
Assemble the breakfast burritos by placing approximately 3/4 cup of the filling mixture onto each flour tortilla. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.
-
Carefully roll up each tortilla, folding in the sides as you go, to create a neat and tightly wrapped burrito.
-
Arrange the assembled burritos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes, or until they are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Once baked, remove the breakfast burritos from the oven and serve them hot. Accompany them with salsa on the side for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.
Tips:
- Customize your breakfast burritos by adding your favorite ingredients such as diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or cooked black beans.
- For a healthier option, opt for whole wheat tortillas and turkey sausage instead of pork.
- These breakfast burritos can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer for quick and convenient breakfasts throughout the week. Simply reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
