Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 Morningstar breakfast sausage patties
  • 2 cups frozen diced potatoes
  • 12-18 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • salt & pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 18-22 flour tortillas

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil to medium heat. Add in frozen potatoes and sausage patties. (I like to microwave the sausage patties for about 30 seconds on each side first so I can easily break them up in the skillet into bite-sized pieces with the potatoes.) Allow potatoes to thaw and brown before flipping them over to the brown the other side.
  • While potatoes are cooking, in a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt & pepper. Beat well until all yolks are broken up. When potatoes are browned and sausage is warmed through, pour eggs into the skillet. Let sit to firm up on the edges, being careful not to burn. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the skillet every so often, flipping and breaking up the eggs as you go.
  • Once there are no more liquid-y pieces of egg, you can remove it from the heat.
  • If you choose to serve the breakfast burritos right away, dish a small portion of eggs into the middle of a tortilla, top with shredded cheese, and roll up.
  • If you will be freezing for later: Allow the eggs to cool down slightly. If they are hot, the steam will form a condensation that will make the tortillas soggy.
  • Once cooled slightly, place about 1/3-1/2 cup egg mixture into tortilla, top with cheese, and roll up, bending in the ends to prevent filling from falling out.
  • Wrap individual burritos in plastic wrap and place in a large freezer-safe storage bag. About 10-12 burritos will fit in a gallon bag.
  • To reheat, remove from freezer. Keeping burrito wrapped in plastic wrap, microwave for 45 seconds. Turn burrito over and microwave for another 45. Carefully remove plastic wrap and microwave one last time for about 25 seconds.
