Ingredients:

  • 4 whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas (10-inch)

  • 6 eggs or 1½ cups egg whites

  • ½ cup cooked diced potatoes or sweet potatoes

  • 4 turkey sausage links or patties, chopped

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or dairy-free cheese

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • Optional: salsa, avocado slices, hot sauce, spinach

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook the sausage
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. Sauté the potatoes
    In the same pan, heat oil and cook diced potatoes until golden and tender (about 5–7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Scramble the eggs
    Whisk eggs and cook in the same pan until fluffy. Season lightly.

  4. Assemble the burritos
    Lay out tortillas and layer eggs, potatoes, sausage, and cheese. Add any extras like avocado or salsa.

  5. Wrap it up
    Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito. Toast seam-side down in the skillet for a crisp edge if eating right away.

  6. Store or serve
    Serve warm, or wrap in foil and freeze for up to 2 months.

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Freezer tip: Let burritos cool, wrap individually in foil, and store in a freezer bag. Reheat in toaster oven or microwave.

  • Make it meatless: Use black beans, tofu scramble, or sautéed veggies instead of sausage.

  • Low carb option: Use a grain-free wrap or make it a burrito bowl.

  • Want extra greens? Stir spinach or kale into the eggs before cooking.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Breakfast Burrito is hearty, flexible, and totally meal-prep friendly — the kind of real-food breakfast that keeps you full, focused, and ready to go. Whether you're feeding a crew or stocking the freezer, it’s a clean comfort classic you’ll come back to again and again.
