Spicy Breakfast Burritos

Quinton introduced me to breakfast burritos on our very first camping trip together and I have loved them ever since. We try to make them on the weekends because they are so wonderful! Plus, it's a great way to use up extra potatoes and/or veggies that you have lying around. I always seem to have sausage on hand but you can make these with bacon or leave out the meat altogether. This version came out incredible because of the combination of fresh bell peppers AND green Chile.

Sausage & Egg Breakfast Burritos      

Serves 8

Spicy Breakfast Burritos

The filling...

ingredients

• 1 lb bulk spicy sausage
• 1 small green bell pepper
• 1 small yellow bell pepper
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• 4 medium potatoes
• 8 eggs, scrambled
• 4 green chiles, peeled, seeded & chopped

• Kosher Salt & Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to taste
• Large Tortillas

Toppings:  shredded cheese, avocado, cilantro 

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350º and bake the potatoes whole for 30 minutes until almost tender. When cool enough to handle dice into bite size pieces. Set aside.

2. Brown the sausage in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Cook the potatoes in the skillet until crispy on all edges, add the peppers and onions and cook for a few minutes, stirring. Add the sausage back in and warm through.

3. Meanwhile warm the tortillas on a flat skillet over medium heat. Fill each tortilla with some cheese, egg, potato/sausage mixture, cilantro, avocado. Roll the tortilla and brown on all sides on the same flat skillet to seal the burrito up. This will give it a nice crisp texture, plus will help to melt the cheese.

We kept the ingredients separate to make during the work week. Simply heat up the egg and potato mixture in the microwave until warmed through then prep your burrito to go! They are delicious!

Enjoy!
