8 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet pork sausage
- 2 –3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes diced (approx. 3 cups; unpeeled)
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 8 ounces mild or sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 large eggs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup salsa verde homemade or store-bought
- 8 large burrito-size flour tortillas
Instructions
Cook the Sausage
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet pork sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until evenly browned. Transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
- Add the diced potatoes to the same skillet. Sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring regularly, until tender and lightly browned.
- Add the diced green pepper and yellow onion; continue cooking until softened. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Scramble the Eggs
- In a separate nonstick skillet over low heat, melt the butter.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk thoroughly, then add to the skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set but still soft. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Burritos
- Arrange a flour tortilla on a clean work surface.
- Place approximately one-eighth of the sausage, potato mixture, cheddar cheese, and scrambled eggs in the center. Spoon about 2 tablespoons salsa verde over the fillings.
Roll the Burritos
- Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly to secure the filling.
- Wrap each burrito individually in foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Freeze
- Transfer the wrapped burritos to a large freezer-safe bag. Label and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat
- Remove foil before reheating.
- Microwave on high for 4–5 minutes, turning once halfway through.
- For a crisp exterior, warm in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side.
