Ingredients
3 cups russet potatoes, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
3 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon salt, divided in half
1/2 pound breakfast sausage
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
6–8 tortillas
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup salsa
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with avocado oil then add potatoes. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt and stir potatoes until evenly coated with avocado oil. Allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until you can easily stab with a fork (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small frying pan over medium-high heat, cook breakfast sausage until no longer pink. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, pepper and remaining salt. Melt butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat, swirl pan around to coat the bottom with butter. Pour in egg mixture, allow eggs to cook for a few seconds, then scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon or spatula to allow curds to form. Continue this process until fully cooked (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- To assemble burritos, lay down a square of parchment paper with a tortilla on top. Divide the potatoes, sausage, eggs, cheese, and salsa in even portions and layer on the tortilla (roughly ¼ cup each ingredient, slightly more for potatoes and 2 tablespoons of salsa each burrito).
- Wrap burrito in tortilla, then wrap in parchment paper. Place in a freezer bag and repeat process for all burritos. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Alternatively, you can serve burritos immediately after assembly! Microwave each burrito for 20-30 seconds before serving to heat up and melt cheese.
