Easy Breakfast Burritos!

I got this recipe from Barb over at "A New Chelsea Morning" and since then I've used it constantly pretty much every week.

I love them, they're quick, they're easy and they're great for breakfast, for lunch, for hubby's lunch at work or even for Jasmine to take to school.

Breakfast Burritos

Barb's Burritos

1 lb maple sausage
1 small can of diced green chilies
1 bag of Potatoes O' Brien
Scrambled eggs.....depending on how much you're making either a dozen or half a dozen


In a skillet brown the sausage,

then drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.  Fry the potatoes, add the can of chilies to the meat, add the potatoes to the chilies and sausage.

In a skillet scramble the eggs then add them to the rest of the mixture, mix everything well.

Spoon the filling into the middle of the tortilla and roll up burrito style. (BTW, the original recipe doesn't call for it, but I like to add cheese to mine too)

I use the little ziploc bags to keep mine in, but you can also wrap them in foil.

Once you're done, just pop them in the freezer, they keep really good for 3 weeks or so. To heat them up just place them in the microwave for about 2 minutes.

  2. These are the best! I started making them months ago when you first wrote about them. I try to keep a stock in the freezer. So delicious, filling and easy!

  4. Like the idea of a complete breakfast being contained in an easy hand held burrito. I'm always in a rush in the morning and never have time to make anything elaborate.

  6. This looks so good...I'll have to make up a batch of them. I did have to do a search for potatoes O'Brien, now that I know what it is I'm ready to get going (well after I go shopping)!!
