Ingredients
  

Breakfast sausage
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Frozen diced hash browns
  • 2 cup frozen diced hash browns
Eggs
  • 10 large eggs Use large eggs.
Milk
  • 0.25 cup milk
Salt
  • 1 tsp salt
Black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Green onions
  • 0.25 cup chopped green onions
Flour tortillas
  • 8 flour tortillas (10-inch) 8 large 10-inch tortillas.
Salsa (optional)
  • 1 salsa For serving, optional.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet
  • 1 nonstick skillet

Method
 

Cook the potatoes and sausage
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the frozen diced hash browns for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy, then transfer to a plate.
  2. Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet and cook for 6–8 minutes over medium heat until browned and no pink remains. Drain excess grease if needed.
Scramble the eggs
  1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Pour into a clean nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and gently scramble for 4–5 minutes until just set and fluffy, not dry.
Assemble and warm tortillas
  1. Combine the scrambled eggs with the cooked sausage, hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
  2. Warm the flour tortillas for 15–20 seconds to make them flexible. Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into burritos.
Freeze and reheat
  1. Serve immediately with salsa if desired, or allow the burritos to cool completely. Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months.
  2. To reheat, unwrap and microwave from thawed for 1–2 minutes or from frozen for 2½–3½ minutes, turning halfway through, until heated through.

Notes

Pro tip: keep the eggs on the wetter side (just set) so the burritos stay tender after freezing. Refrigerate leftover thawed burritos for up to 2 days. Freeze wrapped burritos up to 3 months; reheat from thawed or frozen as directed. For a lower-fat option, use turkey breakfast sausage and reduced-fat cheddar without changing the cook times.
