Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or olive oil.
2. Roast the Potatoes
Spread frozen hash browns or diced potatoes in an even layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy.
3. Cook the Meat
While potatoes roast, cook breakfast sausage or bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
4. Whisk the Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
5. Scramble the Eggs
Push roasted potatoes to one side of the baking sheet. Pour eggs onto the empty side. Return to oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until eggs are just set but still soft.
6. Add Meat and Cheese
Sprinkle cooked sausage or bacon and shredded cheese over the eggs and potatoes. Return to oven for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted.
7. Warm the Tortillas
While cheese melts, warm tortillas in a dry skillet, microwave for 30 seconds, or directly on the oven rack for 1 minute.
8. Assemble the Burritos
Lay each warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon the egg, potato, and meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Add any optional add-ins like salsa or sour cream.
9. Roll the Burritos
Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Press gently to seal.
10. Toast the Burritos (Optional)
Return rolled burritos to the baking sheet seam-side down. Bake for 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy, or toast in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side.
11. Serve or Store
Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce. Or wrap in foil and refrigerate or freeze for later.
