Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 6 pieces eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 8 ounces breakfast sausage
• 1 large russet potato
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potato into small cubes. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the potato cubes. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked (about 8-10 minutes). Break it up into crumbles as it cooks. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

While the sausage is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper in a mixing bowl until well combined.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean and melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Gently scramble the eggs, stirring occasionally, until soft and set but still moist. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or in a dry skillet to make them pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos by layering scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, sautéed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of salsa onto each tortilla. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Step 7

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom to seal the filling inside.

Step 8

Optional: Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos seam-side down for 2-3 minutes, then flip and toast the other side until golden and crisp.

Step 9

Serve with sour cream and extra salsa on the side. Enjoy your Breakfast Burros Burritos!
