Ingredients
  

  • 8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage pork or turkey
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns thawed
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons oil or butter divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salsa for serving optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • aluminum foil
  • freezer bag

Method
 

  1. Cook the sausage. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble in the sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Drain off extra fat.
  2. Crisp the potatoes and peppers. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the hash browns, bell pepper, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and garlic powder. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until golden.
  3. Scramble the eggs soft. Whisk the eggs, milk, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium-low. Pour in the eggs and stir gently 3 to 4 minutes until just set but still soft.
  4. Warm the tortillas. Warm each tortilla in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side, or wrap the stack in a damp paper towel and microwave 30 seconds.
  5. Assemble the burritos. Lay a tortilla flat. Add a scoop of eggs, sausage, potato-pepper mix, and a sprinkle of cheddar down the center. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly.
  6. Wrap and freeze. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil, then place all of them in a freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label with the date, and freeze up to 3 months.

Notes

Undercook eggs slightly — they finish when reheated. Reheat from frozen: remove foil, wrap in damp paper towel, microwave 2-2.5 min, flipping once.
