Ingredients
Burrito Assembly
- 10 large flour tortillas 10-12 depending on filling size
- 12 large eggs whisked and seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 lb beef sausage crumbles or diced beef bacon
- 2 cups frozen hash browns or diced potatoes
- 1 large bell pepper finely diced
- 0.5 small onion finely diced
- 1 cup canned black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese
- 1 small can diced green chilies drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced bell peppers and onions until softened and slightly browned.
- Cook the beef sausage or beef bacon in a separate pan until fully browned and crispy; drain any excess fat.
- Cook the hash browns or diced potatoes until golden brown and crispy.
- Scramble the eggs in a lightly greased skillet until just set and still moist, then remove from heat.
- Spread all cooked ingredients (eggs, meat, potatoes, and vegetables) onto a large baking sheet and allow them to cool completely to room temperature. This prevents steam from making the tortillas soggy during storage.
- Lay out a tortilla and place a portion of eggs, protein, potatoes, vegetables, black beans, and a sprinkle of cheese in the center.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom tightly using a 'tuck and roll' technique to ensure the filling is secure.
- Wrap each burrito individually in parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped burritos into a gallon-sized freezer-safe bag, squeeze out the air, and store in the freezer.
- To reheat, remove the foil and wrap in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 2-3 minutes, or for a crispier finish, place in an air fryer at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
