- Scrambled eggs
- Sausage links
- Hash browns cooked
- Cheese cheddar
- Flour tortillas
Directions
Scramble your eggs according to your preference. You can add chopped vegetables like onions or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture while scrambling. Opt for soft-scrambled eggs for a creamier filling, or cook them harder for a firmer texture.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook your chosen sausage links or patties according to package instructions. Drain any excess grease. Crumble the cooked sausage for easier incorporation into the burrito.
Follow the package instructions to cook your chosen hash browns. Aim for a golden brown and crispy texture.
Heat your tortillas according to package instructions. You can use a microwave, skillet, or tortilla warmer. This makes the tortillas pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a thin layer of scrambled eggs across the center of the tortilla.
Add your desired amount of cooked sausage, hash browns, and cheese. Don't overstuff the burrito, or it will be difficult to roll and close.
Now is the time to add any of your chosen extras like chopped vegetables, salsa, avocado, or refried beans.
Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over
Recipe Note
To save time in the morning, consider prepping some elements in advance. You can pre-cook sausage links or patties and store them in the refrigerator for a few days. Pre-shred cheese is also a convenient time-saver. A little bit of oil or butter when cooking your eggs and hash browns helps them brown beautifully and adds flavor. Don't forget to season your eggs with salt and pepper while scrambling. You can also season your hash browns with salt, pepper, and other spices like garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor. Shredded cheese melts more evenly than sliced cheese. Opt for pre-shredded cheese for convenience, or shred your own cheese from a block for the freshest flavor. Cold tortillas are stiff and prone to tearing. Warming them makes them pliable and easier to roll without breaking.
