Why You’ll Love Them

Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 cup chopped ham
- 1 package refrigerated diced potatoes with onions (like Simply Potatoes), or dice about 1½ lbs of fresh potatoes yourself — whichever you prefer!
- 16 oz cheese any kind will do
- 20 medium sized flour tortillas
- 18 eggs extra large
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare Fillings
- Bake bacon until crispy, brown sausage, and fry ham. Set aside.
- Cook the potatoes according to the package instructions—no need to dirty extra dishes, I like to use the same skillet I browned the meat in.
2. Scramble Eggs
- Whisk 18 eggs with 1/2 cup milk.
- Heat 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium.
- Add eggs, cook while stirring occasionally until set. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat Tortillas
- Stack 5–10 tortillas on a plate, cover with a damp paper towel.
- Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4. Assemble Burritos
- Set up an assembly line: cheese, eggs, potatoes, meat.
- Place fillings in the center of each tortilla, fold sides, and roll tightly with seam down.
5. Freeze Burritos
- Place burritos on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down, press lightly.
- Flash-freeze 1 hour.
- Wrap individually in plastic wrap, then store in a freezer bag (makes ~20).
6. Reheat & Serve
- Unwrap, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave 3 minutes at 50% power. (The amount of time and power level will depend on your microwave, but these are good settings to start with.)
- Serve with fresh salsa or hot sauce and enjoy!
Pro Tips
- Mix & Match Fillings: Bacon, sausage, ham, peppers, spinach, onions, etc.)
- Cheese Choices: Cheddar, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend all work great.
- Potatoes Shortcut: Pre-diced potatoes save time and make assembly faster.
- Freezing Tip: Flash-freezing keeps the burritos from sticking together in the bag.
Pairing Suggestions
- Sauces & Salsas: Fresh tomato salsa, avocado crema, or even a little hot sauce.
- Sides: Fresh fruit, yogurt, or a smoothie for a complete breakfast.
- Drinks: Coffee, iced latte, or a morning mimosa for special occasions.
Favorite Tools Used
- Baking Sheet: Essential for flash freezing the burritos without sticking.
- Large Skillet: Perfect for scrambling eggs evenly.
