Freezer Breakfast Burritos

• servings: 10 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1/3 cup oil (, avocado, olive or canola)

20 ounce package frozen hash browns

1 lb ground pork sausage (, or healthy turkey sausage (recipe in notes)

1 bell pepper (, diced)

1 small onion (, diced)

6 large eggs

2 Tablespoons water (, or milk)

salt and pepper

1 ½ cups shredded cheese (, your favorite kind)

10 flour tortillas* (, burrito size)

hot sauce, sour cream, salsa, avocado (for serving, if desired)

Directions

Cook Hashbrowns: Add oil to an extra large skillet with high sides, over medium-high heat. Once hot, add hashbrowns and cook for several minutes, undisturbed, until golden and crisp on the bottom. Season with salt and pepper. Flip and repeat on the other side. Set aside for burrito assembly.

Sauté Vegetables: Add a little more oil to the pan and add diced bell peppers and onion and cook for a few minutes, until tender. Remove and set aside.

Cook Sausage: Add ground sausage to the same pan and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a meat chopper or wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Scramble Eggs: Meanwhile, add eggs and water to a bowl and whisk well with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon until they are soft scrambled. Don’t overcook them.

Assemble: Place a tortilla on the counter in front of you. Sprinkle a big handful of shredded cheese on it. Add a spoonful of hashbrowns, sausage, veggies, and eggs. (If not freezing, I like to add hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, and avocado inside the burritos). Fold it tightly into a burrito. If serving immediately, I like to toast them in a hot greased skillet until the tortilla is golden and crisp on all sides. Serve immediately.
