Inside Out Breakfast Burrito

Breakfast burritos are a family fave around here, so I decided to play with it and came up with this. I used our fave fillings, but of course you could easily change them up and make it "your own".

4 eggs
1 Tbsp milk
non-stick spray
salt and pepper to taste
Hash browns, cooked
breakfast sausage, browned and drained
Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
salsa verde
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 green onion, sliced thin and curled
1 tomato
2 Tbsp olive oil

Here is what I did:

Crack 4 eggs into a bowl, add milk and beat. S/P to taste, set aside.

Brown the hash browns in olive oil with garlic and shallot, again s/p to taste.

Brown the sausage, drain and set aside.
Slice and curl green onions. *to curl green onions cut them in thin strips and place in a bowl of ice water, after a couple of minutes they will curl!*
Slice tomato, set aside.

In a crepe pan (or your best non-stick skillet) (I coated mine with a thin layer of non-stick spray just for insurance) pour 1/2 the egg mixture to make a very thin "pancake" or "crepe".

Cook till just set and flip. Lightly brown the other side.

Remove "egg crepe" from pan and place on plate. Spread Salsa Verde down middle, followed by cheese, sausage, and hash browns.
Roll like you would any burrito.
Top with curled green onions and serve with a tomato wedge. (I love the colors together)

Enjoy!

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!
