These sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast burritos are an easy make-ahead breakfast packed with protein, crispy hashbrowns, and melty cheddar cheese. Perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or freezer breakfasts, this breakfast burrito recipe is simple, filling, and family-friendly.
Ingredients
- 16 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb breakfast pork sausage
- 4 cups hashbrowns
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions diced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast pork sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
- Cook the Hashbrowns: In the same skillet, add the hashbrowns and cook until crispy and golden brown. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until fully cooked.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a portion of sausage, hashbrowns, and scrambled eggs onto the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and diced green onions. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
- Store the Burritos: If you plan to eat some immediately, heat them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and heated through. For meal prep, follow the storage instructions below.
Notes
Refrigerator: wrap each burrito in foil and store in an airtight glass container for up to 4 days; microwave 2-3 minutes. Freezer: wrap each burrito individually and tightly in plastic wrap (Saran wrap), store in reusable silicone gallon freezer bags, and freeze up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen: unwrap, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave on high 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway. Healthy alternatives: chicken sausage in place of the pork sausage and low-carb tortillas in place of regular tortillas.
