Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter, plus 1 teaspoon divided use
- 1 cup cubed hash brown potatoes (if frozen thawed)
- 1 small red bell pepper seeded and finely diced
- 1/2 lb mild pork breakfast sausage
- 1 tsp dark chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt or plain salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper or cayenne (adjust amount to taste)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 4 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves (additional as needed)
- 4 medium green onions thinly sliced on the bias
- 4 10 inch flour tortillas warmed
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- sour cream and salsa for serving
Instructions
- Filling: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add potatoes and bell pepper. Cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes or just until beginning to soften.
- To the skillet add sausage, chili powder, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper and cumin. Mix well to combine. Cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until pork is no longer pink. Drain, excess fat from skillet. Remove to a plate.
- Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk eggs and sour cream together until fully combined. Add reserved 1 teaspoon butter to skillet. Add egg mixture; cooking over medium heat, gently lifting portions with spatula so uncooked portion flows underneath. Cook for 2-3 minutes or just until eggs are set.
- Assemble: Divide 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese sprinkling down the center of each of the 4 tortillas then arrange ¼ cup spinach leaves over cheese. Spoon ¼ of hash brown-sausage mixture over spinach. Next, add ¼ scrambled eggs. Top with green onions sprinkling each with remaining cheese.
- Fold edges over filling, overlapping slightly. Roll up tortilla from bottom to enclose filling ending seam side down.
- Heat vegetable oil in a clean skillet. Brown tortillas over medium-high heat just until lightly golden on both sides, turn for even browning. (Start seam side down.)
- Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
Notes
- 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.
- 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.)
