Ingredients

• 8 pcs Large Flour Tortillas (8‑inch, preferably low‑moisture for freezing)
• 6 pcs Eggs (Large, room temperature)
• 2 tbsp Milk (Whole or 2% for fluffier eggs)
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Mild cheddar, grated)
• 1 cup Breakfast Sausage Crumbles (Cooked, drained)
• 2 cup Potatoes, Diced (Russet or Yukon Gold, ½‑inch cubes)
• ½ cup Onion, Diced (Yellow or white)
• ½ cup Bell Pepper, Diced (Red or green for color)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil (Extra‑virgin, for sautéing)
• ½ tsp Salt (Kosher or table salt)
• ¼ tsp Black Pepper (Freshly ground)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato‑Onion‑Pepper Mix

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: Medium heat

2. Cook the Sausage Crumbles

   Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the cooked sausage crumbles (pre‑cooked) and heat through, breaking them up with the spatula, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Scramble the Eggs

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2 tbsp milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the skillet contents, stirring gently until just set but still soft, about 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Add Cheese and Cool Filling

   Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly distributed. Transfer the filling to a large plate and let it cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

5. Assemble Burritos

   Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about ¼ cup of the cooled filling in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up, creating a sealed burrito. Repeat with all tortillas.

   Time: PT5M

6. Freeze the Burritos

   Place each wrapped burrito on a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Freeze uncovered for 1 hour until solid, then transfer to freezer‑safe zip‑lock bags, labeling with date.

   Time: PT1H

7. Reheat (When Ready to Eat)

   Remove a burrito from the freezer, unwrap, and place on a microwave‑safe plate. Microwave on high for 2‑3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until steaming hot.
