Make Ahead Breakfast Burrito Mix

This is something I came up with out of a need to make our morning routines simpler. With a hubby and 3 kids to feed (all on differing schedules, of course) and get out the door early in the a.m., this recipe has been heaven sent! It is a huge time saver, kid friendly and is easily adjusted to each persons taste. Try making it with your favorite breakfast foods.


1 dozen eggs
1 tube breakfast sausage
1 cup sharp cheddar or 1/2 cup cheddar and 1/2 cup jack, shredded
1 pkg flour tortillas
1 bag frozen shredded or cubed hash browns
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 - 3 Tbsp olive oil

In dutch oven or large skillet brown off the breakfast sausage. Drain and remove sausage from pan and save for later.
In same skillet add olive oil, hash browns, onion, and garlic, 1/2 the salt, and 1/2 the pepper. Fry these off as you would if simply making fried potatoes or hash browns. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add 1 Tbsp of oil (if needed) and scramble the eggs using the remaining salt and pepper.

In a large bowl mix together the eggs, hash browns, sausage and cheese(s). Cover and refrigerate.

When ready to eat:

Heat small bowl of burrito mix in the microwave until hot.

Soften flour tortillas by warming them for @30 seconds in the microwave with a moist paper towel over them. (if doing several at a time layer tortillas and moist paper towels and increase time).

Once tortilla is warmed and softened; spread a thin layer of Salsa Verde or your favorite salsa inside the tortilla, spoon in the burrito mix and roll into a burrito shape.
(to roll a burrito: start at one edge of the tortilla and roll over once, fold in both sides and continue rolling lengthwise.)

My husband and kids take these wrapped in aluminum foil to eat on the way in the morning.
These are fantastic! Easy to customize; add veggies, peppers, ham, bacon, etc. So many possibilities, and with it made and ready to reheat in the morning it takes next to no time at all to have a very tasty and filling breakfast.
Enjoy!
