How to Make the Best Breakfast Burritos Recipe
- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Breakfast Burritos: Pork breakfast sausage, 10 inch tortillas, cubed hash brown potatoes, red bell pepper, baby spinach, large eggs, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, butter, vegetable oil, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, green onions and salsa and sour cream for serving.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large skillet, measuring cups and spoons, cheese grater, large spoon or rubber spatula for stirring, sharp knife and cutting board.
- You could make these burritos using chorizo sausage in place of breakfast sausage for added spice.
- You can lighten up these burritos using low carb tortillas, low fat cheese, egg whites, turkey or chicken sausage, light butter and sour cream. You may also opt to spray them with cooking spray in place of oil to brown in the skillet.
- You could also adapt using pepper jack cheese for more heat.
- You could swap out the spinach for cubed or sliced avocado, if desired.
- To make Air Fried Breakfast Burritos: Spray the assembled burritos on all sides with cooking spray or an oil spritzer. Place seam side down in the basket of an air and cook at 360°F for 4-6 minutes, checking halfway through and turning, if needed. (If frozen cook for 10-12 minutes or until heated through.)
- These breakfast burritos could be made and assembled in advance then wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen for future meals. When doing so, omit the fresh spinach and skip browning in a skillet until just before serving.
- To reheat from frozen, thaw in the refrigerator then pop into a pan drizzled with vegetable oil and brown on both sides and until heated through.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single servings in the microwave or in a skillet drizzled lightly with oil.
- If you’d like to freeze these burritos you can! When doing so, omit the fresh spinach.
