Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown sausage and onions in a skillet.
- Drain excess fat.
- Add diced potato and beaten eggs, then scramble all together.
- Place a generous amount of the cooked mixture in a heated tortilla.
- Serve with picante sauce if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using spicy sausage or adding jalapeños to the mixture. If you don't have flour tortillas, corn tortillas work well too. You can also substitute the potatoes with hash browns for a quicker option. To make it healthier, use egg whites instead of whole eggs or low-fat cheese for extra creaminess.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the breakfast burritos with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with picante sauce or salsa on the side. For a hearty breakfast, consider serving with Jo'S Quick Spanish Rice or a side of avocado slices.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the burrito in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, flipping until heated evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent the tortillas from tearing?
To prevent tearing, ensure your tortillas are warm and pliable when filling them. If they are cold, microwave them for about 10 seconds before use. Avoid overfilling the tortillas, as this can make them harder to wrap and cause tearing.
