Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Burritos

Cheese, Sausage, Eggs and Hash Browned Potatoes all wrapped in a tortilla…need I say more? These burritos are super simple to make. There really isn’t much prep work since most of the ingredients are already pre-cooked.

Filled with cheese, sausage, cheese, shredded hash brown potatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, cheese, my secret blend of seasonings (shhh…don’t tell anyone), green onions, eggs, and CHEESE (can you tell I love cheese?), this is the perfect way to start your day. Your belly will be happy, happy, happy after eating this, I guarantee.

Be creative here…the sky’s the limit with all the various types of sausage on the market these days–Chorizos Españot is great in this recipe too!

Just place the ingredients in a large skillet, cook it for a bit, then fill your tortilla, roll, and ENJOY!

This recipe makes about two dozen small burritos (using 8″ tortillas). Don’t let that number fool you…depending on the person (and how hungry you are), a serving can be about two or three small burritos.

Give my recipe a try…I think you’ll like it.
