Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
  • 8 pieces Large eggs
  • 1/2 lb Breakfast sausage links or bulk
  • 1 large Russet potato, diced small
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Fresh salsa(optional)
  • 1 medium Diced avocado(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the diced potatoes until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a separate skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully browned and crumbled; drain any excess fat.

  3. 3

    Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.

  4. 4

    Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently until soft curds form.

  5. 5

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 15 seconds to make them pliable.

  6. 6

    Layer the center of each tortilla with equal portions of crispy potatoes, cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese.

  7. 7

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up to seal the burrito.

  8. 8

    Optional: Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1 minute to crisp the exterior and melt the cheese further.
