Ingredients

6 large flour tortillas

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 lb breakfast sausage

1/2 cup frozen hash browns

1 tablespoon butter or oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/4 cup diced onions *(optional)*

1/4 cup chopped bell peppers *(optional)*

1/4 cup salsa or hot sauce *(optional)*

Fresh cilantro *(optional)*


Instructions

1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.

2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

3. Melt butter in the skillet and scramble the eggs gently until just set. Remove from heat.

4. Cook hash browns in the skillet until crispy. Set aside.

5. Warm tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.

6. Lay out each tortilla. Add eggs, sausage, hash browns, cheese, and any optional toppings.

7. Fold the sides in, then roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up.

8. If serving fresh, sear in a hot skillet until golden and crispy.

9. If freezing, wrap each burrito tightly in foil and place in a freezer-safe bag.

10. To reheat, microwave (from frozen) for 2–3 minutes, or bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes in foil.

Notes

For best texture, let all ingredients cool before assembling.

Double-wrap in foil then place in freezer bags to avoid freezer burn.

Avoid overfilling to ensure burritos roll tightly and hold together when reheated.
