Easy Breakfast Burritos
Description
The filling is prepared by cooking tater tots and bacon separately, then crumbling the bacon and cooking sausage until browned. Eggs are whisked with cream and cooked gently with butter for soft, tender scrambled eggs. The cooked ingredients are combined with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses and fresh chives, then wrapped in large flour tortillas for filling and portability.
These burritos work well for breakfast on the go or a quick meal. Warming the tortillas before rolling helps prevent cracking, especially after freezing. The recipe offers three reheating methods: microwave, oven, or skillet, with the skillet method providing a golden, crisp exterior. Burritos can be assembled and frozen for up to three months, making them practical for batch cooking.
The balance of hearty meat, creamy eggs, melty cheese, and crispy tots gives each burrito a satisfying range of textures and flavors that hold up well to freezing and reheating.
Ingredients
- 2 cups tater tots frozen
- 8 lices Bacon
- 1 lb. sausage we like the country pork or sage varieties, bulk
- 1 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 8 large egg
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 8 large flour tortillas burrito-sized
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1/3 cup chive or green onion, minced, fresh
Instructions
COOK TATER TOTS
- Cook tater tots according to package directions, then set aside to cool.
COOK BACON
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over MED LOW heat until crispy. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate and drain off most of the bacon fat, leaving a little bit still in the skillet.
COOK SAUSAGE
- Increase heat to MED HIGH and add bulk sausage. Cook sausage about 5-6 minutes, breaking up the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Drain.
COOK EGGS
- Whisk together eggs and cream.
- Return skillet to stovetop, lowering heat to MED. Add butter and egg mixture, stirring every so often, until eggs begin to set. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until no wetness remains. Set eggs aside.
CRUMBLE BACON AND PREHEAT OVEN (if baking right away)
- Crumble cooked bacon.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
MIX FILLING
- Add eggs to large mixing bowl. Add in half of the cooked tater tots, crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, most of the cheese, and fresh chives.
ASSEMBLE BURRITOS
- Warm tortillas in microwave until pliable. Line a few tater tots down the center of one tortilla, using a wooden spoon to smoosh them down a little. Top with some of the egg mixture, then a sprinkle of some of the remaining cheese.
- Roll tortilla up from the bottom, folding in the sides, burrito-style. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
** IF FREEZING **
- Wrap each burrito with foil and add to freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
** IF BAKING **
- Bake in preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes, until golden brown and filling is hot.
SERVE
- Serve burritos hot.
Notes
- Assemble burritos individually and wrap tightly for freezing up to 3 months in an airtight container.
- Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking, especially after freezing.
- Reheat thawed burritos in the microwave, oven, or skillet; skillet reheating adds a crisp exterior.
