Directions

  1. Crisp the potatoes

    Cook potatoes in olive oil in a large skillet until browned and tender. Transfer to a bowl.

  2. Cook filling

    Brown sausage and bell pepper in the same skillet. Drain excess fat and add to potatoes.

  3. Scramble

    Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-low, stirring gently, until just set. Cool all fillings for 10 minutes.

  4. Roll

    Divide potatoes, sausage mixture, eggs, and cheese among tortillas. Fold sides in and roll tightly.

  5. Freeze and reheat

    Wrap individually and freeze. Microwave unwrapped in a damp paper towel for 2 to 3 minutes, turning halfway, then crisp in a skillet if desired.

Swaps & notes

Easy swaps

  • Use bacon, ham, or black beans.
  • Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms.
  • Pepper Jack adds heat.

Cook notes

  • Do not overcook eggs initially; they cook again during reheating.
  • Warm tortillas briefly so they fold without tearing.

Storage

Refrigerate 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. Label with date and reheating instructions.

Questions

Can I reheat from frozen in the oven?

Yes. Bake wrapped in foil at 375°F for 35 to 45 minutes.

Why are mine watery?

Vegetables or eggs were overcooked and released liquid, or filling was wrapped while hot.

Can I add salsa inside?

It can make burritos soggy. Serve salsa on the side or use a thick, drained salsa sparingly.
