Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup refried beans
Produce and Fresh Ingredients:
- 2 large tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Starch, Dairy, and Seasoning Components:
- 2 cups cooked tater tots
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Crisp tater tots to golden perfection in a preheated oven at 425°F, creating a crunchy potato foundation for the breakfast burritos.
- Sauté ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbly pieces until fully cooked and richly browned.
- Whisk eggs with milk and selected seasonings in a mixing bowl, creating a smooth and well-seasoned egg mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet used for sausage and gently scramble, folding continuously to achieve soft, fluffy curds.
- Warm refried beans in a separate pan, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
- Briefly heat tortillas on a griddle or in a dry skillet to enhance flexibility and improve overall texture.
- Layer each tortilla with a generous spread of warm refried beans as the initial base layer.
- Distribute the seasoned scrambled eggs evenly across the beans.
- Add the crispy browned sausage on top of the eggs.
- Sprinkle golden tater tots strategically across the burrito filling.
- Generously scatter shredded cheese to create a melty, rich layer.
- Garnish with diced fresh tomatoes and chopped cilantro for brightness and additional flavor.
- Carefully roll the tortilla, tucking in sides to create a compact, sealed burrito.
- Optional: Lightly toast the assembled burrito in a skillet to create a crisp exterior and help seal the edges.
Notes
- Prep tots ahead of time and keep crispy by baking on a wire rack for extra crunchiness.
- Customize protein options by swapping sausage with bacon, chorizo, or plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences.
- Use low-fat cheese and turkey sausage to create a lighter version of these hearty breakfast burritos.
- Freeze assembled burritos individually wrapped in foil for quick morning meals, reheating directly from frozen for 2-3 minutes.
