Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork sausage
- 1-1/2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
- 1/4 cup diced white onion
- 1/4 cup diced green and/or red pepper
- 4 eggs lightly beaten
- 12 flour tortillas 8 inches, warmed
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Picante sauce and sour cream optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain and set aside.
- Add the potatoes, onion and pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 6-8 minutes or until tender.
- Pour the eggs in and stir, cooking until they're set. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir everything together to evenly incorporate.
- Spoon the filling off center onto each of the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese evenly out over the filling. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.
- Serve with Picante sauce and/or sour cream, if desired.
Notes
To freeze and reheat the burritos: Wrap each burrito in waxed paper and then again in foil. Freeze for up to 1 month.
To use, remove the foil and the waxed paper. Place one burrito on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 2 to 2-1/4 minutes, turning the burrito over once during re-heating. Let stand for 20 seconds before eating.
These also re-heat just as well in a toaster oven if a microwave isn't an option.
