Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 tortillas
- 1 lb sausage
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by dicing potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2 inch in size. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned and no pink remains, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Remove cooked sausage from skillet, leaving behind some of the rendered fat. Add diced potatoes to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges, about 12-15 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, crack eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- When potatoes are nearly done, return sausage to the skillet and mix with potatoes. Create a small well in the center of the mixture.
- Pour whisked eggs into the well and scramble until eggs are fully cooked and integrated with sausage and potatoes, about 2-3 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Lay out tortillas and divide sausage-potato-egg mixture evenly among them. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling.
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly to create burritos, ensuring filling is fully enclosed.
- Optional: For a crispy exterior, return burritos to skillet and grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately, optionally with salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream as desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the diced potatoes and cooked sausage the night before. Just store them in the refrigerator and reheat before assembling your burritos.
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other ingredients to your burritos, such as bell peppers, onions, or even avocado for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.
- Perfectly Crispy Potatoes: Make sure to spread the diced potatoes in a single layer in the skillet and avoid overcrowding, which helps them get that perfect golden brown and crispy texture.
- Egg Cooking Tip: For fluffier scrambled eggs, whisk in a splash of milk or cream before cooking. This will give your eggs a rich, creamy texture.
- Tortilla Wrapping: When rolling your burritos, make sure to fold in the sides first before rolling from the bottom up. This technique helps keep the filling secure and prevents spills.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your burritos with a side of fresh salsa, hot sauce, or a dollop of sour cream to enhance the flavors and add a zesty kick.
- Make It a Meal: These burritos are not just for breakfast! They make a great lunch or dinner option too. Just pair them with a side salad or some grilled veggies for a complete meal.
