Sausage and Egg Breakfast Burritos
Description
The recipe begins by cooking buttered hash browns until browned, while sausage is browned separately. Eggs are scrambled and mixed with the cooked sausage, hash browns, diced green chilies, green chili sauce, and optional crispy bacon in a large pot. Cheddar cheese is gently folded in until melted, creating a cohesive filling.
The filling is spooned into warmed tortillas, which are then rolled into burritos. The combination offers savory sausage, creamy eggs, crispy potato texture, and a touch of chili heat, balanced by melted cheese. Large tortillas or more small tortillas can be used to accommodate the filling.
This combination can be prepared ahead, wrapped in foil, and refrigerated, enabling convenient reheating for breakfasts or feeding company. The recipe yields approximately 10 large burritos, suitable for group servings or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 1 (32 ounce) package hash browns frozen, square, country-style
- 1 lb pork sausage hot, Jimmy Dean brand
- 6 egg
- 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies diced
- 1 tokes green chili (or some other green chili 15 ounce can, brand
- 6-8 lices Bacon cooked until crispy (optional...we added it this time and it was tasty, thick cut
- 1 1/2 /2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 10 tortilla large or more small ones
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet and add hash browns in a single layer (you may need two skillets). Cook hash browns according to package directions or until browned.
- While hash browns are cooking, you are going to use one pan to cook everything else, one ingredient at a time, then add it to a large pot where you will mix everything.
- Brown sausage in a separate pan. When sausage is done, add it to a large pot. Scramble eggs in the skillet and add to the large pot. Add diced green chilies, green chili sauce, and bacon (optional) to the large pot. When the hash browns are done, add them to the large pot and incorporate gently. Add the cheddar cheese and fold in gently until melted.
- Fill warm tortillas with filling and enjoy! We like to make burritos, wrap them in aluminum foil, and store them in the fridge so they can be easily warmed up for breakfast or for company. Makes around 10 large burritos.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 10 large burritos, suitable for feeding a group or make-ahead meals.
- Optional thick-cut bacon adds crispy texture and smoky flavor when cooked and included.
- Warm tortillas before filling to improve pliability and ease of rolling.
- Store burritos wrapped in foil in the refrigerator and reheat gently for convenient breakfast or snacks.
