Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Potatoes
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, pepper, and preferred herbs (such as oregano or thyme) to taste
Protein and Eggs
- 12 oz breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 6 large eggs
Dairy and Wrap
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
- 6 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables and Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Dice the potatoes, bell peppers, and onion into even pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs, then spread them evenly on a large sheet pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender, stirring once halfway through.
- Cook the Sausage: While the veggies roast, crumble the breakfast sausage into a skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart during cooking. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- Scramble the Eggs: Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a nonstick pan over medium-low heat, gently scramble the eggs until just set but still soft, avoiding overcooking to maintain a creamy texture.
- Combine All Fillings: Once the potatoes and veggies are roasted, add the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs to the sheet pan. Gently mix everything together to evenly combine the flavors.
- Assemble the Burritos: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto each tortilla, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then roll tightly into a burrito shape.
- Optional Baking for Melty Perfection: For extra melty cheese and a slightly crispy exterior, place the wrapped burritos back on the sheet pan and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts beautifully.
