Creating your Breakfast Burrito is not only simple but also enjoyable. Follow these steps to prepare the perfect burrito:
1. Cook the Potatoes: In a skillet over medium heat, heat some olive oil or butter. Add the diced potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender, about 8–10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
3. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently until just set.
4. Combine Ingredients: Mix the cooked potatoes, sausage, and shredded cheese into the scrambled eggs. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
5. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side or until warm and pliable.
6. Assemble the Burritos: Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla from the bottom up to create a tight burrito.
7. Warm the Burritos: Return the wrapped burritos to the skillet, seam side down. Grill each side for approximately 1–2 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy.
8. Serve: Remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice in half if desired, and serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
With these straightforward steps, you can enjoy a flavorful breakfast burrito in no time!
